Three, including two Afghans, arrested in France for planning terrorist attack

French Internal Security investigators have arrested three individuals, including two Afghans, on charges of “planning violent acts” and membership in a “terrorist criminal association.” These individuals were detained on Tuesday in the southwest of France.

Sources familiar with the case confirmed to Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the two Afghan citizens were “planning to carry out a violent act on French soil.”

The anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office told AFP that the three individuals are being interrogated as part of an initial investigation into their membership in a terrorist criminal association aimed at preparing one or more violent acts against persons.

The arrests took place in the regions of Toulouse and Haute-Garonne in southwestern France.

No further information regarding the identities of the individuals or details of the case has been released at this time.

This incident reflects the continued vigilance of French authorities in preventing potential terrorist threats within the country. It also highlights the ongoing concerns about radicalized individuals planning violent activities, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in counter-terrorism efforts.

As the investigation unfolds, more details are expected to emerge, shedding light on the extent of the planned activities and the network involved. The arrests serve as a reminder of the complex and evolving nature of terrorism-related threats in Europe.
