"French magistrates were on Monday investigating the ex-girlfriend of a man jailed for the deadly November 13, 2015 Paris attacks over an alleged jihadist plot, prosecutors said. But Salah Abdeslam himself was not involved in any plot, the national anti-terror prosecutor's office ( Parquet national anti-terroriste, PNAT) said. The probe comes as France prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the Islamic State group attacks in and around Paris that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more."
"Magistrates opened a probe on Monday after finding several discussions or internet searches linked to a "plot for violent action" on electronic devices found at the home of Maeva B, the PNAT said. The woman, who has been in custody since Tuesday, exhibited "clear radicalisation and a fascination for jihad", the PNAT said. Local broadcaster RTL reported she was 27 years old."
"Her home was searched as part of another investigation into USB devices handed to Abdeslam in detention in December last year and this January, it added. But the couple had separated and had not been in a relationship since April, the PNAT said. A 17-year-old girl living in southern France and a 20-year-old man living in southeastern France were detained on Friday and are being investigated over the alleged plot."
