A 22-year-old engineering student and his 20-year-old brother have been arrested in France over a “deadly and antisemitic” plot, anti-terror prosecutors say.
The two brothers, who are of Italian and Moroccan nationality, were arrested on Tuesday in northern France, the national anti-terror prosecutor’s office (PNAT) says.
While in police custody, they admitted that “they had been planning a terror attack in France for which they aspired to martyrdom,” the PNAT says in a statement.
