French cops alerted amid report sleeper cells activated

CNN reports that French police are being told to erase their social media presence and carry weapons at all times following intelligence that a number of terror cells have been “activated.”

The American network, citing a police source who attended a briefing, says intelligence believes sleeper cells were activated in last 24 hours, in the wake of the series of attacks that have rocked the country and left 17 people dead.

The source said Amedy Coulibali, who killed four Jewish men at a kosher market in Paris Friday afternoon, after killing a French policewoman a day earlier, had made a series of phone calls about killing cops before the attack.
