A 14-year-old youth was arrested on Tuesday morning in Rosenau (Haut-Rhin) by investigators from the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI), a source familiar with the case told BFMTV.
Because of his young age, he was taken into police custody for 48 hours rather than 96 hours. Homemade explosives similar to the explosive TATP were found during the house searches.
As part of its intelligence work, the DGSI had uncovered the disturbing profile of this underage youth a few days ago. He has apparently fallen for the Islamic State’s theses and is determined to make explosives, investigators said. BFMTV
