A French prosecutor said Thursday he would pursue charges of attempted murder and terrorism against seven of the 12 suspected Islamist extremists arrested at the weekend.
Francois Molins, the Paris prosecutor, said the seven had been part of an "active terrorist cell" that posed the biggest threat of its kind that France has faced since the mid-nineties, when the Algerian-based GIA was dismantled.
