Terrorist Attack Plan Foiled at a French Military Base

On Thursday, July 25, the French Interior Minister announced the foiling of a terrorist plot by a group intending to behead a member of the country's armed forces at a military base. Four individuals have been arrested in this regard. According to Bernard Cazeneuve, the French Interior Minister, following a special operation by French security forces last Monday, four individuals aged between 16 and 23 who 'had a terrorist action plan' were detained. French security forces 'suspect' that three of these individuals intended to 'kidnap and then behead a military member.' The potential date for this terrorist act has been reported as December 31, the last day of the Gregorian year. The news of the arrest of the planners of this terrorist attack comes 20 days after an individual attempted to blow up a factory near Lyon. Later, the decapitated body of a French citizen was found at the same location. Previously, in January, Islamist attackers targeted the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris and a Jewish store in the same city, killing 17 people. Since then, France has been in a state of emergency. Among those arrested on Thursday, the oldest is identified as 'Jibril,' a former member of the French Navy. No weapons were seized from the detainees, but according to a source cited by AFP, security forces obtained documents 'about the preparation of explosives' from them. According to French government statistics, 1,850 citizens or residents of France are involved in networks known as jihadist, with about 500 of them currently in Syria or Iraq. In this context, the French President labeled the recent attack in the country as 'terrorist.'
