'Radicalised' teenage girl arrested in France

A teenage girl who allegedly had expressed readiness to commit terrorist attack in France was arrested by police in Paris suburbs, a local media report said on Monday.

The 16-year-old girl, with suspected links with criminals related to terrorist networks, was charged of incitement of terrorist acts by using online means of communication, Xinhua news agency reported.

She was arrested on Thursday last week in Melun, Paris suburbs after she posted on Telegram messaging service "numerous propaganda messages of the Islamic State, echoing calls for attack," local media reported, citing a source close to the investigation.
