France is involved in a massive, emergency investigation of the activities of Islamic terror groups operating inside the country, turning the European nation into a major logisticsl and operational base, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
Much of the new information on the French terror connection comes from intelligence and law-enforcement sources in Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Singapore.
Among the startling discoveries:
an Islamic terror training center is based in Paris;
the terrorists are trained in the Fontainebleau Forest, in the coastal city of Marseilles and in the French Alps;
the base, with Wahabbi connections, began to operate more than two years ago, with funds provided by al-Qaida and operated with the help of a number of other Muslim organizations based in Asia and Africa.
The French intelligence community is conducting a major clandestine operation aimed at discovering the exact locations, operators and participants of the training sites.
At the center of the investigation is a mysterious French citizen – former social worker Willie Virgile Brigitte, 35, whose acquaintances say arrived in Asia more than two years ago from the French Caribbean territory of Guadalupe. The man is described as an adventurer who converted to Islam and served as an informant for the French Counter-Espionage Agency. Brigitte was arrested in Australia early last month.
