France is living under the threat of terrorism.
One month after attacks by Islamic terrorists that killed 130 in Paris, French anti-terror police have reported that they detained a woman found with a fake pregnant belly. Police suspect she may have been planning to conceal explosives for a suicide attack.
The couples were arrested late last week in Montpellier for condoning terrorism. Investigators later found the fake belly when they searched their home in the southern town.
Look what police noticed was wrapped around the fake belly:
The fake belly had been covered in aluminum foil in a possible attempt to make its potential contents undetectable at security gates, a source close to the investigation said.
Female suicide bombers have hidden explosives in fake pregnancy bellies for attacks in the Middle East on many occasions, and the prosthetic stomachs have also been used to conceal drugs.
Police also found extremist Islamist propaganda on the couple’s computer in their home in Montpellier, and the woman had searched online for information on how to make bombs, a police source said.
No explosives were found. Anti-terrorist police did not say what they think she may have been planning.
Anti-terror police in France could certainly use our prays and support this holiday season. They remain on high alert for potential attacks.
