French and German Intelligence Services knew Paris attack was coming a month ago.
Startling information has just surfaced that indicates French National Police met with German BKA federal police and German BND federal intelligence service to discuss an imminent pre-planned terrorist attack on Paris weeks ago. According to a report by SOFREP: Industrial targets were already being probed by suspected terrorists in France, and a bomb which failed to detonate was found in one facility. The explosives employed were those stolen in a little-publicized theft from a French military armory months prior. The French and German federal police and intelligence services strongly believed at that time that terrorists were casing soft targets inside Paris and that it was, “A matter of when, not if.” The only point of contention within the French security services was whether or not the target would be soft (civilian) or hard (military, government, industrial) in nature. |

they knew about some of them All they knew was that attacks were imminent. What they didn't know was the targets and the times. There are too many possible targets to cover them all. If it was businesses then could be any time from early morning onwards. Commuters, same times and leisure then any time til late. |

It as reported that there are nearly 6000 people in Franc the security services are worried about and that it takes 25 officers to do surveilance. Given there are a reported 3000 or so people on this aspect of policing it must be a hellishly difficult job.

25 doesn't seem many when you consider that up until 2 weeks ago,29 detectives were deployed on the McCann case.

Not to mention that apart from the suicide vests, Friday's murders were shootings and not bombings, so probably not the same lot who nicked the explosives or targeted the German team. And unlike the would-be killer on the train a month or so back who was disarmed by American tourists, this lot knew how to handle their guns.

I think that means a team of 25 to watch one person, so with 6,000 suspects, that needs ... well, you can see the problem. |

There are too many possible targets to cover them all. If it was businesses then could be any time from early morning onwards. Commuters, same times and leisure then any time til late. Exactly. The football match bomber was denied entrance by a security guard (at the cost of his own life) which is evidence of heightened awareness. |
