[IsraelTimes] Two teenage girls from the French city of Nice are being held on suspicion of planning an attack directed by a notorious Syria-based French jihadist, a source close to the investigation said Sunday.

The suspects, aged 17 and 19, live in the same area of Nice as Mohammed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, the radicalized Tunisian man who drove the truck that killed 86 people in the city on July 14.

Searches failed to find any weapons at their homes.

group.

"They admitted they had been planning a violent attack under the influence of Rachid Kassim before abandoning their plans," a source in the investigation said.

The 17-year-old, who was not on the intelligence services’ radar before, has admitted "hating soldiers," the source said. She was charged on September with associating with terror suspects.

The 19-year-old is known to Sherlocks, having been in contact with another French citizen who recruits IS fighters, Omar Diaby. At the age of 17 she had planned to travel to Syria.

on suspicion of planning terror strikes.

He has appeared in several Telegram videos made in Syria and Iraq urging attacks in La Belle France.
