Weapons, ammo and chemicals that can be used to make improvised explosives were found and confiscated.
The suspects have denied any involvement.
The trial should last until 27 June.

They wanted to kill 200 "radicalised imams" and blow up a mosque portal.
There was talk of using a couscoussier (large pot used to cook couscous) to hide a bomb. Amazingly a 1980 comedy, "Les sous-doués", features a bomb hidden in such a pot.

They had created a group called AFO (Action of Operational Forces) that had hierarchy and structure
Its goal was to "expose Islamism" and get France to return to the way it was
The group had planned an "Operation Halal": getting female group members to wear niqabs and poison supermarket halal food

I used lists to subscribe.
Having been included on some dodgy lists, having seen never MAGAts be added to MAGA lists, I quickly learned never to block using a list.

4 weddings: one of those films I've seen multiple times. Hard to move to another channel when it's shown.

Conclave was quite good with strong characters, plenty of unexpected situations. It was quite nice to see a movie with plenty of languages spoken, not just English. Although the only reference to French speakers is not exactly positive 🤣

Trump doesn't care.
He wanted an excuse to move in the direction of martial law. He's got it.

With the damage Paris fans cause when they win (or lose), the Mayor of Paris might like this possibility.
