(AFP) A man suspected of planting a parcel bomb that wounded 14 people in Lyon, central France, was charged Friday with “attempted terrorist murder,” a prosecutor said.
He was also charged … with criminal association and building an explosive for terrorist purposes, prosecutor Remy Heitz said.
A magistrate ordered the detention of Mohamed Hichem Medjoub, 24, in custody since his arrest on Monday.
Medjoub, who is of Algerian origin, told investigators he had pledged allegiance “in his heart of hearts” to the Islamic State (IS) group, Heitz said in a statement issued Friday.
