Anti-terrorism forces arrested four people in southern France, including a 16-year-old girl, and uncovered a makeshift laboratory with the explosive TATP and other ingredients for fabricating a bomb. France's top security official said the raid thwarted an "imminent attack."
The prosecutor's office said around 70 grams (2.5 ounces) of TATP were seized in the Montpellier-area home, along with a liter each of acetone, oxygenated water and sulfuric acid. TATP, which can be made from readily available materials, was used in the deadly November 2015 attacks in Paris and the March 2016 attack in Brussels carried out by Islamic State extremists.
Person in the group had tried to reach Syria in 2015 and was known to intelligence services. The group notably the girl attracted new attention with their social media postings.
The country's prime minister praised the work of anti-terror investigators.
France is still under a state of emergency after several deadly attacks in 2015 and 2016.
With all these attempts, what is the outcome of it? Terrorists didn't help themselves nor their own.
