Concern in France for Potential Attacks at Olympic Games

Almost a week after the Moscow attack, French intelligence is concerned about a return of mass terrorism in France. This Thursday, Gérald Darmanin will go to the DGSI (French Intelligence) headquarters to discuss the subject with in focus, the issue of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The DGSI’s concern is the possibility of mass terrorism returning to France. Counter-terrorism wants to avoid as much as possible the scenario of a coordinated attack on the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, in front of cameras around the world.

Attention focussed on Central Asian nationals

And this will also be, according to information from Europe 1, one of the messages of the DGSI to the Minister of the Interior. The current format of the parade of athletes on the Seine presents too many risks to be kept as it is. “We must switch to plan B,” advocates an intelligence source. Because with the Moscow attack, claimed by the Afghan branch of Daesh, the threat was reassessed.

“For a week, there has been a lot of activity among the Central Asian nationals we usually follow,” it was noted within the services. French intelligence has therefore decided to massively direct its attention on Turkish, Kyrgyz and Kazakh nationals. The whole challenge is to make this changeover by keeping a high level of vigilance on isolated Islamists, able to take action in short order.

One thought on “Concern in France for Potential Attacks at Olympic Games”

  1. This situation is similar in many respects to the one in GAZA. The French government should follow PUTINs response and warn ISIS of SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.

    .

    It would be best if MUSLIMS world-wide understand that Terrorist Actions will ALWAYS have SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.

    .

    P.S. It is very possible that 40 to 60 years from now CANADA will have GAZA-like colonies, MOOSE-ILUM EAST for SUunnis and MOOSE-ILUM WEST for Shiites, … and NO NEIGHBOURS for either.
