Re: New Years' Eve ISIS Terrorist Plots Foiled-Arrests Made Across Europe
France on High Alert For New Years' Eve Terrorist Threat as ISIS Plots Foiled
French minister Gérald Darmanin has warned the country is facing a very high terrorist threat in the coming days as arrests were made across Europe in Spain, Austria and Germany
Daily Mail 29 DEC 2023
Security services in France have been put on 'high alert' days after a number of ISIS plots to target Europe were thwarted.
Counter-terrorism experts say the group remains a “serious threat” and claim they are taking advantage of the ongoing conflict in Gaza to rally support for their cause. Police have made a number of arrests in France, Spain, Austria and Germany during the Christmas period.
Five people were last week apprehended in northern France as part of an investigation into a criminal terrorist conspiracy.
French minister Gérald Darmanin said the security system is in place for New Year's Eve across the country and he said they will leave nothing to chance on Sunday. He told reporters this morning:
“I requested an extremely strong mobilisation of the police and gendarmerie services in a context of very high terrorist threat."
