French authorities concerned over upcoming release of 148 jihadists

(Breitbart) French law enforcement officials and intelligence agencies have expressed concern over the expected release of at least 148 radical Islamic extremists by the end of 2022.

The jihadists were described as “very dangerous individuals” by National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor (PNAT) Jean-François Ricard during a recent parliamentary committee, with 45 terrorism convicts set to be released by the end of this year alone.

The French internal intelligence agency, the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI), has also expressed similar fears calling the release of the terror convicts a “major concern,” Le Journal du Dimanche reports.
