IS FRANCE THE NEXT MAJOR TERROR TARGET?

WILL THE TERRORISTS TRY TO INFLUENCE THE UPCOMING ELECTION IF FRANCE THEY WAY THEY DID IN SPAIN? These items indicate to me that France might be targeted next:

XINHUA:

Two suspected members of the Basque separatist group ETA were arrested earlier on Tuesday in a joint raid with French police in southern France, said the Spanish Interior Ministry on Tuesday. The interior ministry identified one as Asier Larrinaga Rodriguez and the other as Garikoitz Echeberria. These have been the first arrests of suspected ETA militants since the Madrid airport bomb attack on Dec. 30, 2006, which claimed two lives and destroyed a five story car park at Madrid's Terminal 4.

YNET/"Reuters":

French officials have arrested two Serbs on suspicions of having imported explosives to France, a judicial source said on Tuesday. Officials found four kilograms of the powerful explosive pentrite in northern Paris, the source said. Police suspected the men of wanting to sell the material to members of organised crime groups. One of the suspects was a bus driver regularly driving from Belgrade to Paris, the source said.

CBS/AP:

The leader of Algeria's main Islamic insurgency movement threatened American and French supporters of the Algerian government in a video posted Tuesday on an Islamic Web site. France's foreign ministry said it took the threat seriously, adding that it was monitoring the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, known by its French acronym GSPC. The group recently announced it had established links to al-Qaida. ...

GSPC operations have been confined to Algeria. But the group claimed responsibility for a November attack near Algiers on employees of an affiliate of the U.S. company Halliburton. French authorities have voiced concerns over potential GSPC cells in Europe. [Umph added.]

The more a nation appeases, the more attacks it incites. Which is also a good reason to expect the enemy to whack the UK pretty soon - (after all, both Blair and Brown have been sounding very Chamberlainesque lately.) [And yes: I know that ETA is not a jihadist group. It's just that I suspect they work with jihadists - as the IRA worked with FARC.]
