Sources from the Directorate General of Internal Security told JSSNews that the Jewish community of Lyon has just escaped a major disaster.
Two Muslim girls, 15 and 17, were arrested in Tarbes Venissieux a week ago, when they planned to blow themselves up at the Great Synagogue of Lyon.
The two teenagers, who communicated only on social networks, wanted to die as martyrs, like the "Islamikaze" attacks that kill innocents almost every day somewhere in the world.
"These girls were part of a network of young Islamists that are monitored by the services" says an Internal Security source who wishes to remain anonymous.
Originally the girls were suspected of wanting to join jihadists in Syria.
