French judge: Militants returning with attacks in mind
Battle-hardened French Islamic militants who have fought in Iraq are returning home with the ability and desire to carry out attacks in Europe, posing a “very worrying” new terrorism risk, a senior French anti-terror judge said today.
Investigating judge Jean-Francois Ricard said that aside from militants who have travelled to Iraq to carry out suicide attacks or fight Iraqi and US-led forces, others went there to be trained.
