France security: 'Suicide bomber plot foiled' in Montpellier

6 minutes ago

From the section Europe

A suspected would-be suicide bomber was one of four people arrested in the southern French city of Montpellier by anti-terrorist police.
Home-made explosives similar to those used in the Paris attacks of November 2015 were also discovered, police and judicial sources said. A girl of 16 was arrested along with three young men.

The four suspects in Montpellier were arrested after buying acetone, a police source told AFP news agency. Acetone is an ingredient used in the making of triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a high explosive. TATP, the same explosive used in bomb vests worn by militants in the Paris attacks, was found in the city along with the acetone, a judicial source said.

According to AFP, the female suspect had been spotted on social networks saying she wanted to leave for the Syria-Iraq conflict zone or mount an attack in France instead.

1. It sounds like French security is

Vigilant and working all sources to keep people safe. I hope they are getting all the help they need to root out the extremists.

2. What makes a sixteen year old French kid want to become a suicide bomber?

What were these people telling her?

3. She certainly wasn't born that way

She'll have a nice long time to think about it now.

4. It's time to deport Americans with European heritage

just until we can figure this European problem out.



Yeah, is wrong with girls like this? Why not just get a tattoo or listen to loud music like other angry teenagers?
