Islamic Terrorism Plot Thwarted: Four Minors and One Adult Arrested

In a significant development that highlights the persistent threat of Islamic terrorism in France, five young Muslim suspects have been arrested for allegedly plotting terrorist attacks and expressing a desire to join the Islamic State (Daesh). The group includes four minors—a 14-year-old girl, two 16-year-olds, and a 17-year-old—and one adult, aged 20. Among the suspects, the 17-year-old reportedly contemplated a massacre at his high school.

Arrests and Charges

The arrests, which occurred early this week across various regions of France (Île-de-France, Occitanie, and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur), led to the suspects being detained at the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI) in Levallois-Perret, Hauts-de-Seine. Four suspects are now in pre-trial detention, reflecting the severity of the charges, which include leading “a terrorist criminal association,” as confirmed by the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT). The 14-year-old girl is under judicial supervision.

Preliminary Investigation

The PNAT launched a preliminary investigation on May 17, targeting this group for suspected jihadist activities. The investigation was prompted by suspicions that the group, connected through the internet, harbored intentions to commit terrorist acts. A source close to the investigation revealed that the 14-year-old girl had entered into an Islamic “religious” marriage with the 17-year-old male suspect. This relationship, developed through social media, culminated in a virtual marriage over the phone, with poorly conceived plans to wage jihad in Mozambique or Syria.

Pro-Jihadist Ideology and Violent Plans

Discussions within the group suggested a strong pro-jihadist ideology, with some members considering violent attacks. Evidence pointed to a potential attack on a school. On May 22, a 17-year-old suspect was arrested in Hauts-de-France and later charged with “criminal terrorist association” before being imprisoned. His lawyer declined to comment.

A second suspect was arrested in mid-June and subsequently placed in pre-trial detention. DGSI investigators gathered substantial evidence indicating the 17-year-old’s intentions to either attack his high school during an end-of-year party or join the Islamic State.

Communications and Radicalization

The group’s communications occurred on social networks and encrypted messaging platforms. A source close to the case noted the rarity of such young individuals expressing a desire to join the ranks of the Islamic State, highlighting the need to understand the factors leading to their radicalization.

The Enduring Threat

France remains on high alert as authorities continue to dismantle emerging threats and prevent potential terrorist activities. The ongoing crisis of mass Islamic immigration has heightened these security concerns, with each incident adding to the urgency for effective measures to counteract radicalization and protect citizens.
