Attack on Paris Metro 'foiled by raids'

From The Telegraph

Islamic militants arrested in a series of raids across Europe were planning a suicide attack on the Paris Metro, according to their arrest warrant.

The 27-page Italian judicial document included transcribed telephone conversations in which the suspects discussed the Metro system, security arrangements and a "martyr" referred to as Mohamed.

The warrant, seen by the Reuters news agency, was used to detain Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, known as "Mohamed the Egyptian", a former Egyptian army explosives expert believed to be one of the masterminds of the Madrid commuter train attacks.

Those blasts killed 191 people and wounded 1,900.


Seems like staying out of Iraq isn't a guarntee from attacks by Al-Qaeda.
