Restaurant robbers planned to finance Syria jihad
PARIS - French authorities have detained four suspected extremists accused of robbing a fast food restaurant in order to finance their planned travel to fight alongside Islamic extremists in Syria.Not enough, and that's dangerous. Maybe they should exile them minus the money, to Syria or elsewhere, but not let them remain in Europe, where they can still be dangerous.
Prosecutor's office spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre says the four men, all French citizens, are being held on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act, as well as armed robbery of a Quick hamburger restaurant Wednesday in the suburbs of Paris.
She said the suspects were being questioned Friday by anti-terrorist investigators.
They can be held up to four days under France's anti-terrorism laws.
