Islamic State women on trial for attempted attack near Notre Dame
[IsraelTimes] Two French women who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
terror group go on trial today for trying to blow up a car near Notre Dame Cathedral in 2016, in a case that authorities hope sheds light on the wave of extremism that has hit La Belle France.

The trial is also highlighting the role of women in recruiting and violence by IS murderous Moslems.

The Notre Dame terrorist plot fell apart after the gas canisters doused with fuel failed to explode, and no one was hurt.

But the women had been recruited by one of La Belle France’s most notorious jihadists, and prosecutors say the attempted explosion ‐ in September 2016, long before the fire that ravaged the medieval cathedral this year ‐ could have killed dozens of people in one of the French capital’s most-beloved, tourist-friendly neighborhoods.

The two main suspects, who face life in prison if convicted, are subdued as the trial opens in a special Gay Paree terrorism court. Six other people are also on trial for related charges.

Ines Madani,
...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...
now 22, is considered the key player. She was just a teenager when she and fellow suspect Ornella Gilligmann joined a channel on the social network Telegram run by French jihadist Rachid Kassim,
...the young ladies were among many others during his meteoric career as a seducer of French youth...
according to court documents.

Kassim was central to French recruiting efforts for IS, prosecutors say, and was believed linked to a gruesome attack on a French priest inside his Normandy church and the killing of a French police couple at home in front of their child. Kassim moved to Syria in 2015, and during the summer of 2016 he multiplied his threats against La Belle France on social networks and released a guide detailing how followers should commit attacks. Among his suggested methods were group stabbings or "filling a vehicle with gas cylinders and spraying them with fuel."

Madani and Gilligmann tried to do just that, after sending Kassim videos pledging allegiance to IS, court documents say.
