Notre-Dame plot: Five women jailed over foiled car bomb attack
2019-10-15
[BBC] Five French women have been sentenced to between five and 30 years in jail for trying to detonate a car bomb near Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris in 2016.

The case is said to be the first to involve a group of women attempting to stage an Islamist attack in France.

They failed to ignite half a dozen gas canisters placed in the vehicle.

Inès Madani,
...Ines Madani is the very connected ISIS recruiter and baby mastermind of its first all-girl jihadi cell, along with Ornella Gilligman, Sarah Hervouet, and Amel Sakaou, who fortunately were considerably less competent than they intended. She and dear Ornella were seduced by the Telegram charms of the prolific ISIS recruiter Rachid Kassim, or possibly by another ISIS jihadi, Oumar Diaw a.k.a. Abou Barrou...
Ornella Gilligmann, Sarah Hervouët, Amel Sakaou and Samia Chalel, now aged between 22 and 42, are all converts to Islam.

Madani, who posed as a male Islamist militant to recruit women for the Islamic State (IS) group, was given 30 years, while Gilligmann, a married mother of three, was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Hervouët and Sakaou were given 20 years each, while Chalel received five years for helping Madani hide after the failed attack.

#10  Dron, you fool ! The man's a respected educationist !

The highest respect for teachers though. I wouldn't be where I am, if not for them. Great teachers I've had. I've known the best teachers of all. My wife is a teacher. And she ... oh, she teaches me.

#9  Oh he did ? Sorty sorry then. Not my fault though, blame the literature teachurr in school. I never did get to the end. Flunked the english paper. The lady had this habit of pausing the bloody story to tell people about moral parallels in the real world. Imagine that !

All I knew of Quasimodo is from the MAD parody !☺
