China News Agency, Paris, April 29 (Reporter Li Yang) French official local time on the 28th introduced a new law to combat terrorism, strengthening the tracking of extremist activities, especially strengthening the surveillance of extremism-related websites to prevent terrorist attacks.

　　On the same day, French Minister of the Interior Darmanin said that the bill would strengthen the power of French intelligence agencies to monitor online behavior, expand the use of related technologies by intelligence personnel, and track extremists through the Internet, so that intelligence agencies can find people who have visited extremist websites multiple times.

　　Dalmanin said that tracking the activities of extremists has become more and more difficult. Extremists have changed their contact methods. There are fewer and fewer contacts via telephone, and they communicate more through the Internet and social media.

He believes that monitoring ordinary telephone lines has become less effective in counter-terrorism.

Data map: On August 9, 2017, local time, a vehicle crashed into soldiers on the outskirts of the French capital, Paris. The Paris police said that at least 6 soldiers were injured in the incident.

　　Darmanin revealed that two attacks have been foiled through data tracking, but he did not disclose more details.

French public opinion believes that it remains to be seen whether relevant technical means can effectively help intelligence personnel fight terrorism.

　　In addition, the bill also gives the official greater powers to restrict the activities of people convicted of terrorist crimes after they are released from prison.

French Minister of Justice Moretti said that the supervision of such criminals should be strengthened.

　　French Prime Minister Castel stated that the bill will become part of a broader official response to terrorism.

He said that since Macron took office as president in 2017, France has passed a number of security-related laws, frustrated 36 attacks, and established the post of national counter-terrorism prosecutor to coordinate investigations related to terrorist attacks.

　　The bill has been prepared for a long time and is not directly related to the knife attack on the police that took place a few days ago.

A 49-year-old French policewoman was killed by a knife attacker at a police station in Rambouillet, Yvelines on the 23rd.

The French anti-terrorism department is still investigating the case.
