(Radio France) Two young men suspected of planning violent attacks, specifically against the French military, have been arrested and indicted under anti-terrorism legislation following two separate investigations.
Judicial sources revealed Saturday that the two youths, aged 17 and 18 respectively, were arrested and charged by a Paris court for “criminal terrorist association” and remanded in custody.
In what are two separate cases, the 17-year-old suspect was reportedly arrested on Wednesday by French Internal Security agents (DGSI) in Mantes-la-Jolie, located in the outer suburbs north-west of Paris, and taken into police custody.
The minor, who had been using the encrypted Telegram messenger platform, had expressed his intention to attack the military.
