France

French intelligence is questioning seven men and a woman who are suspected of planning to travel to Syria to fight for terrorist groups. The eight suspects were arrested yesterday in and around Paris. An al Qaeda-linked media outlet issued a call on March 7 encouraging “our lone wolves in France” to assassinate President Hollande and attack French government targets in retaliation for France’s role in Mali and the Central African Republic.
