LONDON, England (AP) -- Islamist militants want to attack the Channel Tunnel between England and France during the holiday season, a British newspaper reported Sunday, citing French and U.S. security sources.
The Observer said the French foreign intelligence service, DGSE, warned the French government of the threat in a Dec. 19 report after a tip-off from the CIA. The newspaper cited French sources as saying the plot was being directed from Pakistan and involved Western European militants, possibly Britons of Pakistani descent.
