French police arrests 3 radicalised female militants
Reports in France reveal that three radicalised female militants have been arrested in connection with a car laden with gas cylinders found abandoned near Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral.

The suspects were likely planning an imminent attack, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve revealed.

“One of the women had stabbed a police officer during the arrest before being shot and wounded.” The Interior Minister informed.

 According to a source close to the investigation, the assailant who attacked the police officer was the missing 19-year-old daughter of the car’s owner.

“These three women aged 39, 23 and 19 had been radicalised, were fanatics and were in all likelihood preparing an imminent, violent act,” Cazeneuve said in a televised statement.
