A car containing gas tanks was located this morning (Saturday) in close proximity to the "Bar Yohai" synagogue in Marseille.

According to local news site "La Provence", many people were praying in the synagogue at the time, as the car was located at 11 am local time, which is in the middle of Sabbath morning prayers.

The car was noticed by a local bar worker who spotted a gas tank in the back seat of the car with documents in Arabic next to it, according to the report.

Last Sunday a car with gas tanks was found near a train station in central Paris and on Wednesday another such car was found in Nore Dame, also in Paris.

The French State Prosecutor announced over the weekend that the car that was located in Notre Dame was meant to be used for a terror attack in a train station in the capital.

Three women were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the terror plot, one of whom pledged allegiance to ISIS.
