(Breitbart) French authorities in the city of Strasbourg arrested seven radicalised people and have indicted two of them over allegations of preparing to carry out a terrorist attack.
The arrests took place on November 18th but were only publicly revealed on Thursday and saw the seven suspects taken into custody by the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI), France’s domestic security and intelligence agency.
French authorities later released five of the suspects, indicting two, both of which are foreigners from Russia and Tajikistan, respectively, and who only arrived in France recently, according to a report from the broadcaster France Bleu.
The broadcast notes the arrests came just days before the opening of Strasbourg’s Christmas market, which attracts as many as two million visitors a year.
