France says it has dismantled 15 terrorist networks

France's justice minister says the government has dismantled about 15 terrorist networks as part of its wide-ranging campaign to eradicate terrorism within the country's borders.

Christiane Taubira told an open meeting of the UN Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee on Tuesday that international action is essential to combat the increase in terrorist attacks. She said France is looking at the sophisticated propaganda, indoctrination and methods used to recruit terrorists, including social media and video games.
