Four people, including a minor, have been arrested in France over an alleged plot to attack security forces, the Paris prosecutor’s office said on Monday. The individuals were arrested on Friday on suspicion of preparing for an “extremely violent” attack as part of an investigation into a terrorist conspiracy by France’s domestic intelligence agency, DGSI. French newspaper <em>Le Figaro </em>reported that the suspects, all male, had been looking for weapons to commit terrorist acts on security forces. "We had sufficiently significant indications to fear a major attack," said Interior Minister Christophe Castaner. One of the suspects is a teenager serving a probationary sentence for trying to travel to Syria, the prosecutor’s office said. The suspect, aged 17, was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in February 2017, two of which were suspended with probation, for "terrorist criminal conspiracy", <em>Le Figaro</em> reported. The other three were also known to French authorities for common law offences. France’s security forces have been the target of a number of attacks by groups claiming to be affiliated with ISIS since the 2015 Paris attacks. In March 2018, a gunman affiliated with the terror group shot at a group of police officers jogging in the southern town of Trebes. In August 2017, a man who had shown interest in ISIS rammed his car into soldiers in Levallois-Peret outside Paris, injuring seven people including the attacker. France increased military and police patrols following the Paris attacks and imposed a state of emergency, which lasted until November 2017.
