South African twins arrested over the weekend were planning attacks on the U.S. Embassy in the capital, Pretoria, as well as on buildings owned by Jewish people, police said on Monday. The twins' preliminary charge sheet states that their conspiracy occurred between October 2015 and July 8 this year, local newspaper the Times said on its online service. "The twins have been charged with conspiracy," Mulaudzi added. "The indictment does talk to issues of terror plots that they were planning against the U.S. Embassy as well as Jewish Buildings in the country," he said, referring to the twins. Quoting the charge sheet, the News24 news organization said the twins had been attempting to fly to Syria.
