Sarah Hervouët, 23, Ines Madani, 19, and Amel Sakaou, 39, failed to action any of their plots which are believed to have been masterminded by French ISIS operative Rashid Kassim known as Abu Kassim. All three women had links to Larossi Abballa, a Frenchman previously convicted of taking part in a jihadi recruitment, who brutally murdered a police officer and his partner in front of their child and posted it on Facebook Live in July. They also had links to Adel Kermiche, one of the two murderers who slit the throat of priest Father Jacques Hamel in the church of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in July.

The women had stolen Madani's father's car, a Peugeot 607, and left it to detonate with six gas cylinders and two gas cans, close to the Notre-Dame de Paris Catholic church but were rumbled by police. The trio who are said to have abandoned their plan apparently fled to an apartment safe house on the outskirts of Paris. They were tipped off that police were hunting for them by former security guard Sakaou's 16-year-old daughter. They were pictured trying to flee their apartment dressed in burkas before police finally swooped.
