15-year-old teenager charged with terrorism over alleged planned attack in Lyon
The minor, suspected of planning a knife attack at a high school, was arrested Thursday and brought before an antiterrorism judge Friday.
According to Le Monde, this 15-year-old teenager, who adheres to far-right ideology, is suspected of having planned a knife attack at a Lyon secondary school motivated by white supremacist and racist ideology. He was arrested Thursday and charged Friday by a judge specializing in antiterrorism cases.
The investigation comes amid growing concerns about the radicalization of minors online and the appeal that extremist ideologies hold for young people.
