French Police Arrest Female Terrorist Wannabes in Paris, 'but There Are Others'

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — French police forces arrested a group of women suspected of planning a terrorist attack in Paris, French President Francois Hollande said Friday.

"An attack was thwarted, a group was annihilated, but there are others," Hollande was quoted as saying by Le Figaro newspaper.

On Sunday, a car with five gas and three diesel bottles was discovered near the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris.

On Thursday, police arrested three "radicalized" women, suspected of intention to explode the car, following the anti-terrorist operation in the department of Essonne in the Ile-de-France region. One of them, wounded by a policeman, became known to the French intelligence services after being prevented from fleeing to Syria.

On July 14, a truck was driven into a crowd in Nice celebrating Bastille Day with 86 people killed and more than 400 injured. On July 26 another attack was carried out in a church near Rouen where a priest was killed and another person wounded.

On November 13, Islamic terrorists conducted a series of coordinated attacks in Paris, killing 130 people and injuring over 360. The Daesh group, outlawed in Russia and many other countries, claimed responsibility for the attack.
