French security forces have detained three Islamist women suspected of plotting terrorist attacks in bars and restaurants across Paris. According to Le Parisien, all three were Salafists who never went outside without a niqab that completely concealed their faces. They reportedly spent most of their time watching extremist videos and posting Islamist content on Telegram and TikTok.

The French nationals, aged 18, 19, and 21, were arrested in different cities across the country. The group was led by the 19-year-old, who neither worked nor studied and devoted all her time to communicating with Islamists and seeking opportunities to kill her fellow citizens of non-Muslim faith.

Investigators traced the group’s leader through her contacts with a known Islamist already under surveillance. With his help, she inquired about the price of a Kalashnikov rifle and how to make a suicide belt.

Driven by suicidal ideas and Islamic mysticism, the young women – including a 21-year-old with a serious illness who used a wheelchair – decided to carry out a demonstrative suicide bombing in the heart of Paris. The specific target had not yet been chosen, but it was to be either a concert hall or a crowded restaurant.

France’s anti-terrorism agency placed them under surveillance, and when the women met in person, the security service realized they were ready to act. Authorities believe they may have intended to carry out the attack on the 10th anniversary of the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks.

As previously reported by the UOJ, an Islamist in France recently drove a car into a crowd while shouting “Allahu Akbar.”
