http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35160282 French police have foiled a terror attack on police and army personnel in the region of Orleans, the interior minister has said. Bernard Cazeneuve said on Tuesday that two men, aged 20 and 24, were arrested on 19 December and were being held for questioning. Both are thought to have had contact with a Frenchman who is believed to be in Syria. France saw its worst attacks in decades last month, with 130 killed in Paris. Speaking in the southern city of Toulouse, Mr Cazeneuve said 10 attacks had been foiled in France so far this year. He said the investigation into the latest alleged plot south-west of Paris will look into whether the Frenchman in Syria, thought to be a jihadist, ordered the attack. Paris attacks - in depth One of the detainees confessed they had intended to attack police officers, military personnel and anyone identified with the French state, Mr Cazeneuve said. Investigators think the suspects had raised money for the plot and were searching for weapons. One of the men arrested is reported to be of Moroccan descent, while the other is said to be from Togo. One suspect was reportedly unknown to police, while the other was a known petty criminal. Mr Cazeneuve also said 3,414 people had been denied entry to France since a state of emergency was declared in the wake of the Paris attacks, "due to the risk they present to security and public order".
In other news, there have been dozens of reports of Santa Claus acting strange toward children. He has announced his plans to home-invade the domestic United States and even flaunts his intentions on the same website used by the San Bernardino ISIS terrorist when she posted (under an alias, for no earthly reason) during her murder spree https://www.facebook.com/TheSantaClaus
If you think about it, we are so very unlucky she posted on Facebook while she was murdering. If she posted after, well . . . wait she would have been dead. I didn't see the pics. But anyways . . . If she posted before her murder spree, the massive internet surveillance systems would have caught her immediately of course. Unfortunately, these terrorists are so evil-brilliant: they don't use their real names to post online. Dammit!!!!! And they just decide not to mention criminal acts until they actually have their fingers safely on the triggers! Why don't they just say "I'm gonna commit crimes tomorrow!" It would be so much easier. A gagillion dollars spent on internet surveillance and the Muslim terrorists go and use fake names! It's not fair!!!! Internet surveillance would have kicked their asses then. Yes! Sincerely, Sirbaihu G. Bononculus
