Authorities in France said they were "90 percent sure" that a French terror suspect recently deported from Australia was planning an attack here, a newspaper reported yesterday.
Despite Willie Virgile Brigitte's alleged links to terrorism, French authorities did not have enough evidence to arrest him before he left for Australia this year, said Gilles Leclair, controller-general of France's main counterterrorism coordination unit in a report by The Sydney Morning Herald.
The report did not give details of any alleged plot to launch an attack on Australian soil.
On Friday, Australian Prime Minister John Howard said authorities had no evidence Brigitte was plotting an attack.
