French police arrested twelve people on Tuesday in two separate raids in Southern France. Nine arrest were made in on raid in Marseilles and Avignon, police found and seized guns and ammunition in the first raid. In the second operation in Marseilles two men were arrested and one in Bordeaux, this is because contact information was found in the cell phone by a French-Algerian man arrested this past weekend for having a bombing kit. Western governments are now concerned that Al Qaeda is trying to sympathizers who are citizens in Western Europe help Al Qaeda assist them in terrorist attacks in Europe. The nine people that were arrested in Marseilles and Avignon were suspected of trafficking fired arms and explosives. The other three men that were arrested in Bordeaux and Marseilles were suspected of providing housing and false identity papers to people, trying to move into France. All those that were arrested were not linked together but they have ties to radical Islamic groups.
More and more often police are continuing to find more fired arms and plans for terrorist to attack a country. This can have a affect to both side of the story for the terrorist it will be much harder to continue with their attacks if police continues to find them. For government officials this is a great thing to keep their country from harm but this can also make it much harder for them to find the terrorist. With this continuing there is no doubt that terrorism has not stopped and continues to happen.
