Training in tribal zones: French charges four men as suspects

14 Nov, 2010

A judicial official says that four men suspected of belonging to a network sending French residents to the tribal zones of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to train for combat have been charged. A woman who was detained with them has been released. The official said on Saturday that the men, aged 25 to 30, have been charged with ``criminal association linked to a terrorist enterprise.'
The official said the four are also suspected of plotting to kill the head of the Grand Mosque of Paris, Dalil Boubakeur but there wasn't enough evidence to justify charges. The official, not authorised to discuss cases publicly, demanded anonymity.
