France thwarts 'imminent attack;' 4 arrests, explosive found

2 of the suspects (the 16yo girl and her 20yo bf) had recently converted to Islam (they are French born/bred). Just to show that fighting terrorism purely through security measures at borders or exclusion of 'swarthy-looking' ppl or citizens from the wrong country/religion isn't the 'perfect solution' some are trying to sell us.

There's Something missing from these ingredients to make a Bomb. Isuggest 3 are missing. Plus shrapnel and casings.

Seventeen terrorist plots were foiled last year in France. Hats off to the security services.

Let's hope one doesn't slip through.

Seems that France needs to learn immigration policy from Japan. 8 people per year.

All these attempted attacks in France are by idiots. If they want to get away with it, don't use smartphones to discuss this stuff. Don't post on social media. Don't use computers to organize. Don't write anything down.

Luckily for us, those who are prepared to believe in an sky deity that is angered by ham sandwiches are also going to be the least capable when it comes to devising and executing a truly ingenious terror plot, or anything ingenious for that matter.
