Judge: France's terror risk grows with Mali effort
The longer that France's military intervention goes on in Mali, the greater the risk that homegrown Islamic militants will organize to plot attacks back in France, a top French counterterrorism investigator told The Associated Press.
Investigating Judge Marc Trevidic said young radicals in France see the Paris government as enemy No. 1 in the "new jihad" and consider France's intervention in Mali, which started last month to help the Malian government fight al-Qaeda-linked militants, as an aggression against Islam. Small groups of France-based militants have already headed to Mali. (AP)
