Statements made by the Ministry of Foreign and European Spokesperson (Paris, September 29, 2010)

Terrorism

Has France been informed of plans to conduct coordinated attacks in Great Britain, Germany and France, as revealed by the British and American media? Does France consider these threats to be credible?

We maintain a constant process of dialogue and information exchange with our main partners with respect to the fight against terrorism. The information transmitted by the American authorities, in particular with regard to the terrorist threat in Europe, has of course been analyzed, cross-checked and, if necessary, taken into account in our national threat assessment which is always based on a range of factors.
