French Police Detain Two Teens Over Alleged Antisemitic Plot
French authorities have detained two 16-year-olds in Paris on suspicion of planning an antisemitic attack. One suspect is a Russian national of Chechen origin, according to judicial and press sources. The Chechen teen reportedly sent a photograph via WhatsApp showing himself holding a knife. In the message, he stated he was "going to kill Jews in five days." Investigators say he was in contact with the second teenager, who lives in the Paris region. The pair allegedly threatened to target a religious worship site. The Russian national moved to France with his mother four years ago. Both minors remain in custody as the investigation continues.
