(AFP) French investigators have discovered weapons and a pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State group after charging three men with planning a terror attack, sources close to the inquiry said Thursday.
The men had not yet decided on a specific target, but had considered attacking a prison guard, another source had told AFP on Wednesday.
Two of the men are already serving prison sentences, and the letter claiming IS allegiance was found on the third man, one source said Thursday.
All have denied the claims after they were charged last Friday.
One of the men was Zakaria Chedili, 31, who was behind bars for spending six months in Syria in 2014 with a group affiliated to al-Qaeda, a source said.
