Three minors aged 15 and 16 who planned an attack on an Israeli performance in Belgium, were charged with terrorist conspiracy at the end of August and beginning of September, BFMTV learned from a judicial source and confirmed information from Le Parisien.
Among these three minors, two young people aged 16 are Chechens. The third is a 15-year-old Frenchman. This teenager, arrested in Joué-lès-Tours (Indre-et-Loire), has no criminal record, his lawyer told BFMTV. The three boys attended the same school, she said.
A fourth person was arrested in Belgium
Two of them were remanded in custody, while the third was released and placed under judicial supervision. A fourth person they interacted with was arrested in Brussels. This man is the subject of separate proceedings in Belgium.
The three people charged in France planned an attack on an Israeli diplomatic mission in Belgium. The group, characterized by a strong jihadist ideology, also showed closeness to the Islamic State. According to our information, the group also had a significant interest in explosives.
