Five people were arrested on Friday during an anti-terrorist operation in eastern France. They were taken into custody as part of a Secret Service investigation, the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office announced.
The formation of a criminal terrorist organization is being investigated. The arrests took place in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department. According to information from investigators, those arrested belong to an Islamist movement.
Access in the morning
Accordingly, the arrests took place on Friday morning in Nancy, Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy and Toul. French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin warned the country’s prefects on Friday to exercise “extreme vigilance” during the Christmas holidays and Epiphany as the “terrorist threat” remains very high.
The highest of three alert levels has been in force in France since October 13. It was announced after the attack on a teacher in Arras, northern France: a radicalized ex-student killed teacher Dominique Bernard in front of the school entrance with multiple stab wounds in the shoulder and neck. At the same time, the alert level was activated against the background of the war between Israel and the radical Islamic Hamas.
