On Wednesday, the French Foreign Ministry confirmed the claim by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb that the group had kidnapped 7 foreign workers from Niger last week, which included five French Nationals. Lately there have been several threats towards France, like the one towards the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower was evacuated last week after authorities received a bomb threat. Not only was this important monument threaten but also was different means in public transportation in France had similar threats. "We have serious indications coming from a reliable intelligence telling us that there's significant risk of an attack," says Frederic Pechenard, director of France's National Police, told Europe 1 radio.
I think that these attacks coming from Al Qaeda can have a great affect towards France. People will start to become more afraid of coming out due to the threats towards their country. The French will be scared because they know what this group can do, since the whole world realized what they did towards the United Stated in 9/11. Although, nothing yet has happened towards the country of France. For the members of Al Qaeda it is a good thing that the people of large and important countries are afraid of them. This way, their attacks are easier for them to create, although it may be higher due to an increase towards national security.
