France foils IS terror attack by female cell: prosecutor

French authorities have foiled an attack by three heavily radicalised women who were being guided by the Islamic State jihadist group from Syria, France's anti-terrorism prosecutor said Friday. "A terrorist cell made up of young women totally receptive to the deadly ideology of Daesh has been dismantled," Francois Molins said in a press conference, using the Arabic name for IS. The three women, led by 19-year-old Ines Madani, were arrested south of Paris on Thursday.
