The way to this Muslim terrorist's heart in France was by murdering non-Muslims. Or trying to and dying in the process.
Islamic State militants in Syria directed a group of women who gathered materials for a car bomb left near Notre Dame Cathedral, French prosecutors said Friday, highlighting the group’s apparent ability to command homegrown terror cells from afar.
One of the women, identified as 23-year old Sarah H., had ties to French nationals who killed three people in recent terror attacks on French soil, Paris Prosecutor François Molins told a news conference.
Sarah H. had promised to marry Larossi Abballa, 25, who died in a raid in a Paris suburb after killing two police employees and taking their infant hostage in June, Mr. Molins said. She then pledged to marry Adel Kermiche, a 19-year-old who would die in a hail of police bullets in July after slaying a priest as he celebrated Mass in a small town in northern France, he said.
This black widow really didn't have much luck. Not only did her plot fail, but all her future husbands got shot in their own acts of terror.
Mr. Molins said Sarah H. was one of three radicalized women—including two women identified as Amel S., 38, and Inès M., 19—who were detained Thursday night after a violent clash with police, in which two officers were stabbed. The three met over the internet, Mr. Molins added.
Inès M. was taken into custody carrying a note in which she swore allegiance to Islamic State, he said.
Sarah H.’s third and most recent fiancé was detained in the sweep as was Amel S.’s 15 year-old daughter, Mr. Molins said.
If the track record continues, he'll also go to his 72 virgins in a hail of bullets.
