(National-UAE) A major European counterterrorism politician has warned that France’s monitoring of extremists is still failing a year after a terror attack in Strasbourg.
ISIS extremist Cherif Chekatt killed five people and wounded 11 others during a shooting and stabbing spree at Strasbourg’s Christmas market a year ago.
He had been on a terror watchlist, known as Fiche S, when he committed the atrocity and is believed to have become radicalised in prison.
It has raised questions over the effectiveness of the scheme.
Now French senator Nathalie Goulet is warning more attacks are likely as the country’s monitoring systems are failing.
