France: Rural Detention for Terrorist Suspects

What are the authorities to do with foreign Islamists who are classed as constituting a threat, but cannot be found guilty of any crimes? In 13 cases the French government has decided to keep the men in detention. Some have been to prison before for planning terrorist attacks, such as Merouane Benhamed. He’s been detained now with his family in a small town in the picturesque southwest of the country for 18 months.
