Three Islamist fighters from France could were returned by Turkey. To everyone’s surprise, they entered France freely at Marseille airport after Turkey had expelled them and put on a plane. The French authorities knew that Turkey’s three terror suspects had put on a plane. Nonetheless, the French police were not waiting at the airport Marseille, but at Orly airport outside Paris. Actually, the Islamists should have been sent to Paris, but the pilot of the Paris-flight refused to let the three on board his aircraft. The police were never notified of the change in Paris.
The Financial Times quoted the French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian saying ‘It was a big failure.”
