Teen girls held in France on terror suspicions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo teenage girls from the French city of Nice are being held on suspicion of planning an attack directed by a notorious Syria-based French jihadist, a source close to the investigation says.
The suspects, aged 17 and 19, live in the same area of Nice as Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, the radicalized Tunisian man who drove the truck that killed 86 people in the city on July 14.
Searches failed to find any weapons at their homes.
The teenagers have told investigators they had been in contact with Rachid Kassim, a French jihadist based in the areas of Syria and Iraq held by the Islamic State group.
