France: Female suicide bomber thwarted in bid to attack central Paris



An update on this story. Next questions: Who helped her? And where is she now? The report does not say she is in custody.



Note also a little-reported statistic on the surge in attacks on Jewish targets in France this year. “Foiled: woman bomber’s plot to blow herself up in central Paris,” by Ian Sparks for the Evening Standard, September 20



French security: “Imminent” risk of jihadist attack

An unnamed source said the female suicide bomber who was prevented from striking is “not necessarily the most worrying thing.” That’s saying something.

“Moderate imam” on the run:



Separately, officials from Paris’s Grand Mosque confirmed that their rector, Dalil Boubakeur, had been placed under police protection and provided with an escort as he moves about the city.



Boubakeur is a moderate figure who has worked with France’s government on issues of Muslim integration and has been threatened by radicals in the past.
