One of them was a recent convert to Islam, but authorities continue to be totally indifferent to the recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam turning to violence.
“Two young people indicted for jihadist ‘coordinated attack plans,’” translated from “Deux jeunes mis en examen pour des « projets d’attaques coordonnées » djihadistes,” Valeurs Actuelles, May 17, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
The General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) spotted online exchanges between two young people. According to information from RTL confirmed by the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT), this Friday, May 17, an 18-year-old adult and a 15-year-old minor were arrested last week and indicted on Sunday, May 12 for association criminal terrorist criminals.
The two young people, “clearly committed to the jihadist cause,” had been discussing for weeks “projects for coordinated short-term attacks,” that is to say, simultaneous attacks committed in different places in France, indicates the prosecution at RTL. They had come into contact through social networks. One resides in the Grand-Est and the other in Occitanie.
Investigators have yet to confirm the youngest person’s true intention to act. The latter had only been radicalized for a few months and was until recently invested in Christian catechism, reports RTL. He was not placed in pre-trial detention. On the other hand, the intention of the older person would be more established. He potentially intended to attack “institutional” targets. The individual, just 18 years old, would have taken steps to acquire weapons. Contacted by RTL, the two lawyers for the defendants refused to comment on the facts. |
