‘France foiled attack on Jews last year’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJihadists arrested last year in Lyon were planning to carry out a terrorist attack at a Jewish group’s conference about anti-Semitism, a French newspaper reports.
The five suspects who were arrested in a series of sweeps by French police between September 16 and September 18 were planning to strike on September 18 at an event organized in Lyon by the regional branch of the CRIF umbrella of French Jewish communities and organizations, according to a report Tuesday in the Le Progres daily.
An unnamed police officer who is in charge of the investigation confirms to the daily that the suspects were arrested following the interception of a September 5 telephone conversation in which they discussed their plans.
