ai generated text
An 18-year-old individual, who arrived in France with his family from the Russian republic last year, is suspected of planning an "Islamist-inspired" attack on a football game in Saint-Étienne. The alleged plot aimed to target spectators and police officers. Authorities apprehended the individual on May 22nd in Saint-Étienne, where evidence of the planned attack was found. France is currently at its highest alert level for potential attacks ahead of the Paris Games.
We can say today that groups such as al-Qaida or Islamic State have the intention to attack the west, and France in particular, but they don't have the means at the moment.
