Deux hommes d’origine syrienne ont été interpellés vendredi soir en Suisse, à Genève. Les enquêteurs ont trouvé des traces d’explosifs dans leur voiture. La ville est en alerte renforcée depuis mercredi en raison d’une menace djihadiste.                                   Two Syrian men were questioned on Friday evening in Geneva, Switzerland. Investigators found traces of explosives in their car. The city is on extra alert since Wednesday due to djihadists threats.

Depuis mercredi, la région de Genève est sous tension, même si la vie quotidienne n’a pas été très perturbée pour les habitants. Le ton va sans doute changer après l’interpellation vendredi soir de deux hommes d’origine syrienne. Ils auraient transporté des explosifs dans leur voiture, les policiers ayant retrouvé des traces d’explosif dans le coffre.

Since Wednesday, the area around Geneva is tense, despite that daily activity was not upset for inhabitants. The tone however is going to change after the arrest and questioning this evening of two Syrian men. They had carried explosives in their car and investigating police found traces in the boot. 

Les deux suspects se trouvaient à proximité de la frontière française. On ne sait pas encore s’ils font partie des quatre personnes recherchées, dont les photos ont été diffusées par les médias suisses. Ces suspects seraient liés au groupe Etat islamique. Le niveau d’alerte a été élevé au niveau 3 sur 5 par la police et de nombreux policiers en arme ont été déployés sur les points sensibles de Genève.

The two suspects were stopped close to the French border. It is not known yet if they are part of a group of four people being pursued. These suspects have connections to the Islamic state. The alert level was raised to 3 out of 5 by the police and armed police were were deployed on certain sensitive spots in Geneva. 

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
