Girl, 16, among four arrested in southern France on suspicion of planning terror attack

[quote]Four people suspected of plotting an "imminent" terrorist attack on a Paris tourist site were arrested on Friday, including a 16 year-old girl, Paris prosecutors said.
Investigators uncovered a makeshift bomb factory and made the arrests in the Montpellier area of southern France after monitoring the teenage girl’s social media accounts in which she talked about wanting to attack France and her desire to go to Syria or Iraq.
Her boyfriend, 20, who was among those arrested, is suspected of planning to carry out a suicide attack on a Paris tourist attraction.
Bruno Le Roux, the interior minister, said the raid "foiled an imminent plan to carry out an attack on French territory."
About 70 grams of TATP, a powerful but unstable explosive popular with Islamist extremists, as it can be made from readily available ingredients, were discovered during the operation, along with other bomb-making materials, syringes and gloves.
"The four suspects were arrested after they bought acetone,” a police source said. Acetone is a highly-explosive liquid that can be used as an ingredient for making bombs.
TATP was used in the terror attacks in Paris in November 2015 and the Brussels attack in March last year.
The other two suspects in detention are aged 26 and 33.
Police sources said an address was also searched in the Ardennes region of eastern France in connection with the plot.
France remains on high alert over possible Islamist militant attacks.
More than 230 people have died in a series of assaults since the beginning of 2015 and the country has been under a state of emergency since November 2015.
An Egyptian man armed with two machetes allegedly tried to attack the Louvre museum in Paris last month. The man, named as Abdullah Hamamy, 29, was shot and critically injured after a confrontation with soldiers.
Bernard Cazeneuve, the prime minister, said: "We are facing an extremely high threat."
France's top constitutional court meanwhile overturned a law imposing prison sentences for consulting jihadist websites.
The law was introduced last June, seven months after the Paris attacks that killed 130 people. It set a two-year prison sentence for consulting jihadist websites regularly.
The 10-member court ruled that the law was unconstitutional because it infringed the freedom of communication unnecessarily and disproportionately.
A lawyer acting for a man serving a two-year sentence under the law had contested the ban.
The court said in a statement that law enforcement agencies had other resources to monitor websites inciting militancy and people who clearly had "a terrorist intention".[/quote]

Good riddance, a neck-shot and a unmarked grave are good enough for these fuckers.

I don't think that's going to help anyone. What these people need, especially the 16 year old, is rehabilitation.

One post in and there's already someone advocating killing criminals. Bravo!

Would be useful to know how they got radicalised if you can find the internet channel or the preacher then you might be able to take preventative measures.

Why don't we imitate those terrorists. You know, heads chopped and an unmarked grave!

I see terrorists as a worse category than criminals.
Because most criminals doesn't have a goal that involves in committing mass-murder in public places.
If these people wanted to go to Syria or Iraq that bad, then they should've just booked a ticket and die over there.
But no, these fucking cowards are planning to kill and terrorize others instead.

That's a good impression of a cold, dehumanizing, cruel and disconnected-from-civilization mindset if I ever saw one. Good job at trying to reproduce terrorists mindsets I have to say.
Let's all try not to be like that.

I know this is your opinion and all and you have no power to make anything like this happen (thank god), but it's a really shitty opinion.
And if you can't clearly see why it is so shitty, that is honestly very worrying.

I see that is a shitty opinion, and frankly i'm sick of people resorting to terrorism cuz religion or whatnot.
Terrorism doesn't change anything except making others hate them.
Which also makes other more (wary/scared?) against people who are upstanding citizens that share the same religion.
