The French head of counterterrorism noted that the threat in France is threefold: the French convert who is radicalized and set up his operation alone, the Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), to dispatch commandos to carry out attacks in France and the jihadists, those French people who go to Afghanistan or Yemen, Somalia tomorrow and come back illegally, seasoned to continue their fight on French soil.

According to Mr. Squarcini, France, because of its history, its commitment to Afghanistan, taken firm positions on foreign policy and debate in society as the law on the veil, is the subject of a very special interest of some radical Islamist movement.
