Two minors, including a Russian national, have been placed in custody in Paris on suspicion of plotting an antisemitic attack, according to judicial and press sources, APA reports citing French media.
The Russian, a Chechen 16-year-old who came to France with his mother four years ago, had sent a photo on WhatsApp of himself holding a knife and announced that he was “going to kill Jews in five days,” Le Parisien newspaper reports.
He was in contact with the other 16-year-old, who lives in the Paris region, and threatened to target a site of religious worship, the newspaper adds.
Confirming the press reports, France’s national anti-terror prosecutor’s office tells AFP that the pair had been charged with “participation in a terrorist criminal association with the aim of preparing one or more crimes against persons.”
