a 15-year-old boy suspected of planning an attack, Sherlocks said Sunday.

The teenager was arrested in eastern Gay Paree on Saturday and had been under house arrest since April for suspected links to Islamic holy warriors.

group, Rachid Kassim, for supporters of the group to strike French targets.

The source said the 15-year-old had been in touch with Kassim using the encrypted messaging app Telegram. Kassim has regularly appeared in IS propaganda videos calling for attacks on French targets.

Investigators believe IS operative Kassim had been in contact with one of the women arrested last week over a car found abandoned a week ago near Notre Dame cathedral, a major tourist draw in central Gay Paree.

He has been linked to at least one of the two teen jihadists who executed an elderly priest in a Normandy church in July.
