So far there have been no instances of suicide bombing on French soil. Does this mean that for some obscure reason France has been spared? Is it a sanctuary protected by some covert governmental leniency towards terrorist organizations? Or is this due to French refusal to participate in military operations in Iraq? A short review of the past and the present situation demonstrates that France has been and still remains a major target which has to be protected from the kind of attack suffered in both Spain and the United Kingdom. The current situation must be attributed to an accurate assessment of the adversary, persistent effort by the security forces (police, gendarmerie, DGSE) and, so far, a jolly good piece of luck.
