French Man Indicted for Alleged Drone Terrorism Plot

The 22-year-old suspect, influenced by online extremism, is accused of planning an attack despite no explosives being found at his home.

The suspect, arrested earlier this week in Seine-et-Marne, has been charged with preparing an act of terrorism and publicly supporting terrorism online.
The DGSI identified him through his online activity, including visiting sites on explosive device construction and posting support for the Kouachi brothers.
Authorities discovered he had purchased a drone and equipment capable of carrying explosives, though no actual explosives were found during the investigation.
The suspect, who suffers from schizophrenia, previously traveled to conflict zones in Iraq and Syria before returning to France last year.
French officials emphasize the continued high threat of domestic terrorism, particularly from individuals radicalized online, as seen in this case.
