A family member of an Afghan national accused of planning to carry out a terrorist attack in Oklahoma on Election Day was charged in France on Saturday with plotting to conduct attacks on a French soccer match or shopping center, according to the Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office in Paris.
Both Afghans are believed to have wanted to carry out the operations on behalf of ISIS, the officials said. It is not known whether they planned to coordinate their attacks in the U.S. and France.
French officials said the Afghan charged there was 22 years old but declined to name him. They also did not identify two other individuals who were also taken into police custody in France for questioning and released.
