The radical Islamists arrested yesterday by French police are dangerous and presented a risk to security, Interior Minister Claude Gueant told Le Parisien in an interview published today.
Two of the 19 people arrested yesterday were released, while the rest remain in custody, according to an official at the ministry. The arrests in raids across France came just over a week after a self-proclaimed jihadist was killed by police after he murdered seven people, including three Jewish children, over a nine-day shooting spree in southwestern France.
