Prosecutor: French terror cell planned Syria trip

(AP) ? A French prosecutor says a network of French Islamists planned to join jihadists fighting in Syria.

Francois Molins says five of the 12 people accused in a grenade attack on a kosher market have been freed. Molins said seven people remained in custody, a day after police discovered bomb-making materials in an underground parking lot as part of a probe of an "extremely dangerous terrorist cell." All the suspects were born in France, he said.

One of the cell's leaders was killed in a shootout with police on Saturday; the other, Molins said, indicated plans to build a bomb.

Authorities have been on high alert after a Frenchman who claimed links to al-Qaida shot and killed three Jewish children, a rabbi and three paratroopers in southern France in March.
