Man Arrested For Plots Against Churches

The 24-year-old Algerian national, Sid Ahmed Ghlam, was detained last Sunday in Paris, France for suspicion of planning an attack on two churches that reside in the rural area. He had allegedly shot himself and called an ambulance Sunday, and as the police forces arrived on the scene they found a trail of blood that led to the suspect's car which had weapons and notes on potential targets in it. One official stated, "Several war weapons, hand guns, ammunition and bullet-proof vests were found in his car and home." Ghlam was wanted for the murder of tourist, Aurelie Chatelain, who was found in her car in Villejuif, France, a Paris suburb early Sunday morning.

A contact in Syria advised Ghlam to target churches. Security forces have been doubled in areas all over the country.
