A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in Paris suspected of preparing imminent "violent action," two judicial sources said, the second alleged plot with links to Islamic State discovered in France this week.

Last Sunday, a car loaded with gas cylinders was found near Notre Dame cathedral and jerry cans of diesel, leading to the discovery of a plot to attack a Paris railway station under the direction of Islamic State.

Seven people, including four women, were arrested.

The boy had been under house arrest since France declared a state emergency after Nov. 13 attacks in Paris in which Islamic State militants killed 130 people, two sources said on condition of anonymity.
They did not say why he was under house arrest.

His arrest on Saturday came as he was planning an attack in a public place in the French capital, one of the sources said.

The second source said the boy had been in contact with suspected French Islamist militant Rashid Kassim and that Kassim also guided one of the women arrested last week in the plot to attack a train station in Paris.

'Women, sisters, go on, attack'

French newspaper Le Monde reported that Kassim is in Syria.

He has used Telegram, the messaging service, to call for more attacks in France.

"Women, sisters, go on, attack. Where are the brothers?...She brandished a knife and she hit a policeman...Where are the men?" Le Monde quoted a message of Kassim on Telegram.

One of the women, arrested on Thursday stabbed a police officer during her arrest on Thursday before being shot and wounded.

One of the women, who was arrested with her partner on a motorway on Tuesday , Ornella G., was formally placed under investigation on Saturday in connection with the car found last Sunday near Notre Dame cathedral.

Today,another boy,born in september 2001,who was reportedly intending to carry out a terror attack has been arrested in Paris.
The boy had been tasked with carrying out a terror attack and had been in touch with Rashid Kassim ,a jihadist who has been linked to several other recent attacks in France.

I say keeping deporting them a few dozen a day.

It is unfortunate that parents of such kids send them to do terror attacks rather than teach them the right from wrong. French police should also charge their parents with the same penal code and arrest them. Arrest them for ruining an entire generation of youth for their own idiocy.

All the best and stay safe

Desparate, more likely.

Desparate, more likely.

desperate for what ? the article doesn't say what generation immigrant he was (assuming for obvious reasons that he was an immigrant) but life is much worse for many millions of people all over the poor world in Africa, in South America, in South Asia etc, than it was for this 15 year old in France but still he ends up plotting a major terrorist attack.

The US/west was in major wars in Vietnam and Korea, a lot of dirty covert/overt actions in Latin America and all over the world so a lot of people around the world resent the US/west but with people from the middle east etc...

to quote The Donald, "there's something going on"

Best wishes to France and congrats on preventing loss of innocent lives.

It would be the moral duty of the french to either lock him up or execute him rather than deporting him to another country.

 

[911]

Its a conspiracy against the poor kid just to prove there is Islamic terrorism in France. He is being arrested just because he is a Muslim. France is just becoming more and more intolerant these days. I hope for the safety of this kid.

It would be the moral duty of the french to either lock him up or execute him rather than deporting him to another country.

You don't value human rights? And whats with putting innocent kids behind the bars? I hope India sends some NGOs to save poor kids being executed in the name of Islamic terrorism.

I don't think right wing extremism will help your country in any way.
