Interior Minister of France, Brice Hortefeux, told the press on Wednesday that French officials arrested five terror suspects in a plot including a suicide attack. Of the five men, one was "prepared to die." The five were arrested Monday; all five are French nationals but their origin is from Algeria. Algeria is the site of a terrorist cell that has been causing quite the stirrup in Europe these past few months. France has arrested 87 people suspected in terror plots so far this year, 27 of which are still being detained. France remains at its second highest terror alert level, including the Eiffel Tower being evacuated twice recently due to bomb threats. The amount of terror-linked activity in France is troubling the world, and those who are planning on traveling should be extra cautious.
