Five Muslim women have been sentenced Tuesday for up to 30 years each in a French prison for planning in 2016, to launch an attack on Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, according to a report by Arutz Sheva.

At the time of the planned attack, the group hoped to detonate a lethal bomb placed in their Peugeot 607. However, the device never detonated and authorities quickly neutralized the situation.

French police investigators told the French court, “the attempted attack would have been successful if the women had chosen the right type of fuel.”

Police arrested three of the five women in their Paris apartment. The report stated, “They tried to resist arrest and stabbed the police who came to arrest them. The suspects later confessed to attempting to destroy the cathedral.”

In April, Notre Dame went up in flames and lost many of its original features. The medieval cathedral is currently undergoing renovation to restore its beauty. The cause of that fire is unclear, but French officials point to either a cigarette or an electrical malfunction.
