Alain Chouet
Alain Chouet, born in 1946, is a former officer of the French external intelligence service DGSE, where he dedicated nearly three decades of his career to counter-terrorism efforts. An expert in Arab studies, he served in various locations including Beirut, Damascus, and Rabat, gaining extensive knowledge of the Islamic world. In the early 2000s, he was responsible for counter-terrorism operations in Paris. Reflecting on the evolution of threats since the September 11 attacks, Chouet emphasizes that the greatest danger now lies not just in terrorism, but in the gradual erosion of European society by Islamist ideologies, which he believes have the potential to undermine social cohesion from within.
