French Police Thwart Islamist Teen’s Attack Plot
14th March 2025
French police arrested and charged a teenager in connection with a planned terror campaign, the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) has confirmed.
The 17-year-old from Vesoul in Haute-Saône has been held since Thursday, March 13th. He is under investigation for “participation in a criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing one or more crimes of attack.”
After the boy was arrested for carrying a knife in a public place close to his school, his social media output led the authorities to reclassify his activities as terror-related. The youth claimed to be a member of Daesh and flagged up several prospective targets during Ramadan, including a church, a synagogue, and official U.S. or Israeli premises. These violent intentions were also made clear from reading the suspect’s account on the encrypted messaging service Telegram, PNAT said.
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
