French prosecutors investigate 3 young women over foiled attack in Paris

French prosecutors have placed three young women under formal investigation over a foiled attack near Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
 
Ines Madani, 19, Sara Hervouet, 23, and Amel Sakaou, 39, were brought before anti-terrorism judges yesterday. 

The women are suspected of plotting to blow up a car packed with gas canisters last week, and of having ties to the Islamic State militant group.
 
Another woman, Ornella G, 29, is already being investigated in the case. 

The car with its license plates removed and hazard lights on was found on September 4, prompting an urgent police search.
  
The three women were remanded in custody after being interviewed.
