group (IS) and preparing a suicide kaboom.
The documents said Bushran, 24, had been living in the southwestern Gay Paree suburb of Trappes, and had studied with a holy man "who encouraged me to undertake jihad."
Bushran said he had followed the conflict in Syria, where anti-government protests that erupted in March 2011 against

spiraled into bloody civil war.
"I saw what is happening in Syria in terms of crimes against the Moslems and the signs that the Day of Resurrection is coming soon," the documents quoted him as saying.
"And I became convinced to go to Syria to fight for God and the Moslems."
Bushran said he reached out via Facebook to someone publishing "jihadist news" and was told to travel from Germany or Spain to Turkey, rather than from La Belle France, to prevent detection.
He flew from Frankfurt to Turkey, where he stayed in a safe house in Gazientep with 20 other young men.
They received religious lessons and trained for 20 days before being taken to Raqa, the IS stronghold in the Syrian province of the same name.
Bushran said he was eager to carry out a "martyrdom operation" and was assigned to carry out a suicide kaboom against Shiites in Leb.
Leb's Shiite Hizbullah

is a close ally of the Syrian regime and has sent its forces to bolster Assad against the Sunni-dominated uprising there.
Hizbullah's role in Syria has made it a regular target for attacks by Sunni Moslem murderous Moslem groups in Leb.
Bushran was given $2,000 (1,600 euros) as expenses and went to Beirut where he checked into a hotel and communicated with a Lebanese contact.
He was told his mission would be to detonate an boom belt in a public place, but before he received his final orders, his Syrian handler asked him to return to Turkey, saying "problems had led to the operation being canceled."
Lebanese security forces raided the Napoleon Hotel in Beirut's Hamra district on June 20, arresting Bushran before he could flee.
Five days later, security forces raided another Beirut hotel and jugged

Bushran, the Saudi and 15 other people, only seven of whom are in jug, now face charges of belonging to IS and planning suicide attacks.
