This group, who is unknown, is adopting the similar tactics used by the Algerians extremists during their bombing campaigns. French intelligence has been monitoring the activities of Afghan extremists after the Taliban promised to "take the battle to Paris."

The group, Afghan Revolutionary Front, want the French to withdraw from Afghanistan by February but France are increasing their presence.

So far, the warning is only aimed at French, but Britain and America are to increase their security around major shopping centres.
