French prosecutors are seeking terrorism charges against an adult and three teens aged 16-17 over a foiled bombing attack near the Bank of America Corp. office in Paris, seen as a likely retaliation to the war with Iran . The Parquet National Antiterroriste said on Wednesday that it was seeking the charges against the four people after bringing in an investigative judge with wider probing powers to run the case. The four are suspected of forming a criminal terrorist conspiracy, manufacturing an explosive or incendiary device and attempted destruction in connection with a terrorist enterprise, the PNAT said in its statement. The suspects had all been questioned in police custody. A fifth person was released due to a lack of evidence. French authorities are examining possible links with a pro-Iranian propaganda video released last week by a group called HAYI or “Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya,” which called for retaliation targeting interests of the Jewish community in Europe and specifically mentioned BofA’s French headquarters. Officials said they’re coordinating with other law enforcement agencies in Europe. A Jewish school in Amsterdam was hit by an explosion last month, shortly after an explosive device was also set off at a synagogue in Rotterdam. In Norway, three brothers and their mother were arrested in connection with a blast outside the US Embassy in Oslo.
