French Prime Minister Warns of Threat From 15,000 Wannabe Jihadists

France is facing the "maximum threat" from terrorists both inside and outside the country, he said. An estimated 700 French nationals are fighting in Syria and Iraq, including 275 women and dozens of children.

"You can say there are 15,000 people under scrutiny because they are in the process of radicalization," Valls told French radio station Europe 1. Security agencies have been thwarting terror plots every single day, Valls said.

Earlier this week, three radicalized women were arrested in connection to a car containing gas canisters that was found a week ago near Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
