It confirms that these young people from the Meinau quarter had been in Syria at the end of v2013 with the intention of joining a djihad group.  

Cette vaste opération, menée par la Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure(DGSI) avec le Raid et le GIPN, a débuté peu après six heures. L’objectif : interpeller des jeunes, domiciliés dans le quartier de la Meinau, et de retour de Syrie après être partis y mener le djihad.

“Cette opération s’est parfaitement bien passée, s’est félicité le locataire de la place Beauvau au micro de, félicitant au passage “l’ensemble des forces de renseignement et de sécurité“. “L’opération s’est parfaitement déroulée” (Bernard Cazeneuve). This operation went very well, it was successful in finding apartments in the place Beauvau, and successful in finding the way they came. The operation was perfectly executed.    

Devant l’Assemblée nationale, le ministre de l’Intérieur a confirmé récemment la “hausse significative ces derniers mois de ressortissants français engagés” aux côtés des islamistes combattant au sein de la rébellion contre le régime de Bachar al-Assad en Syrie. Bernard Cazeneuve chiffre actuellement à 285 le nombre de Français engagés dans le conflit en Syrie, soit “une hausse de 75 % ces six derniers mois et comparable à celle des ressortissants d’autres pays européens“. Le dispositif récemment mis en place par le gouvernement a permis d’enregistrer 24 signalements de Français tentés par le “djihad” en Syrie et de constater cinq départs effectifs.

Standing before the National Assembly, Bernard Cazanave confirmed the “significant rise in the last months of French nationals engaged” on the side of the islamists fighting at the heart of the rebellion against Assad in Syria. Figures show, in fact, 285 French involved in the conflict in Syria, that is “a rise of 75% in six months compared to nationals from other European countries”. The recent plan of action put in place by the govt allowed the registration and tracking of 24 French nationals attempting to join the “djihad” in Syria and confirmed five who left.

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.
