Daesh militants are gearing up for a 'campaign of terrorist attacks' in France that are likely to see explosive devices placed around areas with large crowds, the head of France's DGSI internal intelligence agency has warned.
The rare remarks by Patrick Calvar to the parliament's defence committee came ahead of the Euro 2016 soccer championship in France and six months after militants killed 130 people in coordinated assaults on cafes, bars, a football stadium and a music hall across Paris.
"Clearly, France is the most threatened and we know that Daesh is planning new attacks," Calvar told the committee on May 10 in a transcript of his testimony released to the media on Thursday.
France's lower house of parliament has definitively approved a two-month extension of the state of emergency that was declared after the deadly Nov. 13 attacks in Paris.
The measure is aimed at covering the June 10-July 10 European Championship soccer tournament and the July 2-July 24 Tour de France. It expands police powers to put people under house arrest and allows authorities to forbid the movement of people and vehicles at specific times and places.
The vote, scheduled for weeks, took place on Thursday. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve justified the measure by the "unprecedented context of terrorist risk."
