A French journalist infiltrated a jihadist cell: 'I never saw any Islam in this affair, only lost, frustrated, suicidal, easily

Paris (AFP) - A French journalist infiltrated a cell of would-be jihadists, filming them with a hidden camera as they plotted an attack in the name of the Islamic State group, before they were arrested, he told AFP. The journalist, a Muslim using the pseudonym Said Ramzi, carried out the investigation for a documentary entitled "Allah's Soldiers" which gives an insight into the minds of young jihadists, and will be shown in France on Monday night. Ramzi describes himself as a Muslim "of the same generation as the killers" who carried out the November 13 terror attacks which left 130 people dead in Paris. "My goal was to understand what was going on inside their heads," he told AFP. © AFP/File Jean-Sebastien Evrard"One of the main lessons was that I never saw any Islam in this affair.
