“He said 161 legal investigations into terrorism are currently ongoing, with 547 people implicated in the inquiries. Of those 547 people, 167 people have been arrested, 95 are under investigation and 80 are in jail, he said.” Where are the other 205? Jihad has been declared against France — they are probably not sitting idle.
“France arrests 8 more with alleged jihadist links,” by Margot Haddad, CNN, February 3, 2015 (thanks to Cassandra):
(CNN)French counter terrorism police arrested eight people with alleged links to jihadist cells in Lyon and the Paris suburbs Tuesday morning, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said at a Paris press conference.
He said 161 legal investigations into terrorism are currently ongoing, with 547 people implicated in the inquiries.
Of those 547 people, 167 people have been arrested, 95 are under investigation and 80 are in jail, he said.
Cazeneuve also announced that “a new counter-terrorism” decree would go into effect on Wednesday.
He plans to travel to Brussels, Belgium, on the same day to persuade the EU Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs to move forward with the EU Passenger Name Record. This is a draft law currently under debate that would require airlines to maintain and share data on passengers entering and leaving the European Union, in an effort to fight crime and terrorism.
“The fight against terrorism, is a race against time — we are fully determined,” Cazeneuve said….

“Cazeneuve also announced that “a new counter-terrorism” decree would go into effect on Wednesday.”
Laws need to change and adapt. Europeans countries need to serve their respective populations first, regardless of the compromised EU directives.
The EU is as totalitarian as Marxism and Islam. They share the same goal: Domination.

Agreed, Salah.

Matthieu Baudin says
The French counter offensive is now gathering steam. It was set in train by the mass public response to the Jihad assaults of the past weeks that the political leadership can only ignore at its peril.

Hurrah for the French and for Mr Cazeneuve personally!
