A French radio station has established a support committee to help secure the release of of two French journalists kidnapped in Syria near Aleppo last month. The technical director of the General Directorate of External Security, which collects electronic data from computers and telephones in France as well as the flow of signals between France and countries abroad, has said that “our targets are the networks of the public at large … because they are used by terrorists.” French Muslim leaders disagreed over the date for the beginning of Ramadan.
