5 Women Arrested in Southern France in Suspected Attack Plot
|
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Police in southern La Belle France have arrested four women and a girl as part of an anti-terrorist investigation into a suspected attack plot targeting the city of Montpellier.
A police official in the Herault region confirmed the overnight arrests in the city of Beziers, and said Sunday that the DGSI domestic intelligence service and national anti-terrorist prosecutor’s office are handling the investigation.
Investigators centered on an 18-year-old woman living in a housing project in Beziers who is suspected of plotting an attack targeting nearby Montpellier, according to Mayor Robert Menard. The 18-year-old’s mother and three sisters were also arrested, including one who is a minor, he said.

The 18-year-old had "boasted" to neighbors about watching ISIS videos, Menard told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, though he said he didn’t know whether she or her family had been on authorities’ radar for radicalism.
Menard, who was alerted by police to the operation, said he spoke with rattled neighbors at the scene.
"They’re horrified. They fear it gives a bad image of this neighborhood," he said.
