The trial of three French men accused of attempting to travel to Syria to join jihadists fighting in the country began in Paris on Thursday.

Youssef Ettaoujar, 26, Salah-Eddine Gourmat, 24, and 21-year-old Fares Farsi wanted to go to Syria to procure weapons, undergo military training, and go into combat, prosecutors claim.

They say the men, who all lived with their parents in the Paris area, had planned to travel to a Syrian refugee camp in Turkey to make contacts before then travelling on to Syria.

However, police had placed them under surveillance and the three were arrested in May 2012 at an airport near Saint-Etienne as they attempted to board a flight to Turkey.

All three are charged with “criminal association in relation to a terrorist organisation”, with the trial expected to last two days.

Prosecutors say the case against the men is based on numerous wire taps, the men’s purchase of combat equipment such as tactical vests and gun holsters, and on searches of their computers and mobile phones.
