France.. Arrest of teenagers on charges of planning terrorist attacks on the Eiffel Tower and Jewish temples

The French authorities in Paris announced the arrest of two teenagers aged 15 and 17 on suspicion of planning attacks targeting Jewish temples and one of France's most prominent tourist symbols, the Eiffel Tower.

Le Figaro reported that investigations revealed their admiration for the "ISIS" organization, their communication via an encrypted group on a messaging app, and their search on the dark web for weapons to carry out the plans.

The police opened an investigation with them since last April after identifying their targeting of symbolic sites.

The prosecution charged the teenagers with criminal conspiracy related to terrorism, while authorities continue to monitor any potential partners in the scheme.
