A man being detained in France on suspicion of planning an imminent attack on one or two churches has been identified as Sid Ahmed Ghlam, an electronics student, the Euro News website reports today (April 22, 2015).
The alleged terror plot in the Paris region was uncovered by chance.
Emergency services there were called on April 19 by the 24-year-old himself. Injured, the Algerian national may have shot himself by accident. A blood trail led to his car. There, and at his home, shocking discoveries were made.
Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters: "His home was searched which led to the discovery of three Kalashnikov assault rifles, an empty charger, three empty cartridge belts, bullet-proof vests, and tactical body armor, police armbands, yellow police tunics, a camcorder and a camera, a computer and a hard drive, 2,000 euros in cash and telephone hardware, SIM cards, and documents in Arabic mentioning the terrorist organizations al Qaeda and Islamic State [IS]."
