From the section Europe
A suspected would-be suicide bomber was one of four people arrested in the southern French city of Montpellier by anti-terrorist police.
Home-made explosives similar to those used in the Paris attacks of November 2015 were also discovered, police and judicial sources said. A girl of 16 was arrested along with three young men.

The four suspects in Montpellier were arrested after buying acetone, a police source told AFP news agency. Acetone is an ingredient used in the making of triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a high explosive. TATP, the same explosive used in bomb vests worn by militants in the Paris attacks, was found in the city along with the acetone, a judicial source said.
According to AFP, the female suspect had been spotted on social networks saying she wanted to leave for the Syria-Iraq conflict zone or mount an attack in France instead.

Yeah, is wrong with girls like this? Why not just get a tattoo or listen to loud music like other angry teenagers?
