Paris, Feb 23 (IANS) Six French citizens, thought to be planning an imminent trip to Syria, have had their passports confiscated, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said on Monday. "Today these six administrative bans on leaving the country have been signed, a**ther 40 are in preparation," Xinhua news agency quoted Cazeneuve as saying. "We wanted this measure because if French people leave to commit actions in Iraq and Syria, upon their return, they represent an even greater danger for the national territory and risk committing wide-scale terrorist acts," the minister added. All of them were "tempted to engage in terrorist operations" in Syria, he added.
