    In addition to this we have two thousand French citizens or residents that are, were involved in jihadi networks in Syria and in Iraq, whether they've been staying in France as sympathisers or travelled abroad as jihadists. Six hundred of our citizens are currently fighting in Syria and Iraq and it's the largest European contingent of foreign fighters on the ground."

    Very soon attention will turn to the question of whether David Cameron and his ministers' arms will be strengthened by the events in Paris on Friday as they formulate policy to confront and take on extremism both in Syria and in this country."

  7. 'Change in tactics' from ISpublished at 22:13

    The BBC's Security Correspondent, Frank Gardner, has been considering the implications of the Paris attacks. Under more pressure than ever in the territory they hold, Islamic State militants "are increasingly looking to direct or inspire attacks further afield", our correspondent says.

    Western counter-terrorism officials had recently come round to the conclusion that while there were still people aspiring to such grand-scale attacks, the prevailing threat was more likely to come from 'self-starters', people like the murderers of British soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich near London in 2013. In the light of what has happened in Paris and elsewhere, they may now be revising that assessment."

  10. Backlash fearspublished at 21:39

    Yasser Louati, a member of the Collective Against Islamaphobia in France, says the Muslim community is disgusted by Friday's attacks. 

    He told BBC Radio 5live Muslims now live in fear of a backlash. 

     "The reports we are receiving from the ground is that now people are being attacked, mosques are being attacked, death threats are being written all over social media. 

    "Unfortunately less than a year ago when the attacks were carried out against the newspaper Charlie Hebdo and the Jewish supermarket, we provided the wrong answers. 

    "We added more division to division and we have put Muslims as if they were somehow responsible or somehow connected. I fear for the Muslim community right now. People are calling us worried whether they should send their children to school or not on Monday."

  16. 'Charlie' spirit fading?published at 21:00

    Counter terrorism expert Dr Asiem El Difraoui is worried about France's future. 

    Quote Message

    One of my biggest fears is that this national unity which was displayed to some degree after the attacks in January against Charlie Hebdo - which was summed up by the slogan 'We are Charlie' - is going away. Even then, some people felt that they were not Charlie, they were not interested in or supportive of terrorism but felt left out because they didn't feel part of the France which is Charlie."
