Extremely radicalised girl, 16, is charged with preparing to carry out a terror attack in France and supporting ISIS
An extremely radicalised 16-year-old girl has been charged with preparing to carry out a terror attack in France and supporting ISIS.
The teenager, arrested in the Melun area of southern Paris, was accused of using the Telegram social media app to spread calls by the terror group to launch an attack.
A judge charged the teenager with taking part in a ‘criminal terrorist association’ and ‘inciting to commit terrorist acts through an online communication medium.’ She has been placed in custody.
Investigators said the girl was ‘extremely radicalised’ and was the administrator of a chat group dedicated to ISIS propaganda on Telegram, which has been used by suspected jihadis to communicate, deputy prosecutor Laure Vermeersch said.
Vermeersch said no specific targets had been mentioned by the teenager, who had no criminal history before. Her name wasn’t released.
