No Worries. Just A Local Delivery.
The BBC reports that a car was found parked on the Quai de Montebello, near the Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris. It was found with its hazard flashers activated.
The vehicle had an empty gas cylinder on the front passenger seat. Six other gas cylinders, apparently not empty, were found in the trunk.
No detonating device was present. However, materials written in Arabic were found in the vehicle.
The vehicle’s owner is on France’s watch list of “suspected religious radicalization.” He’s now in custody, along with a second individual.
French authorities believe this was a “dry run” for a possible terrorist attack. The Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris is one of Paris’ most popular tourist destinations, visited by about 13 million people annually. Per the linked articles, the auto was found parked “meters” from the cathedral.
The vehicle was reported by a nearby bar owner, who noticed it and notified local authorities. Looks like Paris’ has the functional equivalent of a “see something, say something” program that works pretty well.
In case anyone was wondering: yes, the title of this article was sarcasm. If you believe this was a “gas delivery”, well . . . I’ve got this bridge for sale really cheap.

Oh boy now the left is going to call for a ban on gas cans
@Skippy:
Nope. They’ll try to get it forced into law that interfering with jihadiscum is a hate crime.
Then mark me down for 1.5 Billion counts. I’ll wear those convictions with pride.
Wanna bet they were planning on a couple of snipers to finish the job?
I keep wondering when the Froggies will finally hit their tipping point and kick off a good-ol’-fashioned European custom known as the pogrom. For all their talk of “peace” and “tolerance” and “European Unity,” Old Europe is still there, even if New Europe doesn’t like to talk about it. When it happens, it’s gonna be messy.
It maybe sooner then any of us think I know a lot of people in Germany and they are fed up with the bullshit already..
It was reported today that anti-semitism is at an alltime high in europe. In this case it’s hatred of jews, but the Muslims are semites too. Perhaps the polls are wrong and it’s muslems that are starting to draw a litte hate.
Cracks have already begun to show in the EU’s structure.
Why wait for official Gubberment permission? Grab a few like minded neighbors, ax/pick handles, baseball bats, cricket bats, wait until dark, and “take a stroll”.
BTW, do the Germans have anything similar to a baseball or cricket bat, easy to handle, but with enough weight and heft to pack a wallop?

Or this ??
I have not yet been to the Louvre, Notre Dame or le Rive Gauche, or le Pont Neuf et le Pont des Arts.
These useless twits had best be gone before I get there.
You’ll have to contend with the other useless twits there known as “tourists,” which are not in short supply.
Along with the useless (and obnoxious) twits commonly known as Parisians.
Seriously, I’ve heard from French visitors that Parisians are fucking assholes. Like New Yorkers on steroids.
I always found the French to be great people. Except in Paris. A dirty nasty city filled with arrogant asswholes.
Even the french hate Parisians. We hosted an exchange student from Grenoble and she said that “parisian” is the definition of asshole in the rest of France.
Have always found that generally the rest of the country dislikes the people of their largest or capital cities…when a kid in our unit slid on ice and took out a corner of someone’s house in winter REFORGER the response from his neighbors was “fuck him, hes a Berliner”. Brits dislike Londoners, French hate Parisians, Czechs talk bad about people from Prague…and who hasn’t said something bad about New Yorkers?
Q: How many New Yorkers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: NONE, they’d rather sit in the dark and cuss each other out.
Sounds like a job for the bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms, explosives, box cutter, gas cans, pressure cookers and really sharp sticks or BATFEBBGCPCSS
sorry BAFTEBCGCPCSS
ATF should be a drive-thru convenience store.
We just need to find jobs for the misunderstood Islamic crusaders, that’ll fix it!!!!! Oh, and throw all our A/Cs away too. (sarcasm off)
They can be employed rowing themselves back to their homelands.
Or better yet, employ themselves as fish food.
I like how you think, I was considering they could use jobs as lethal distance testers for ordnance in the desert, but your idea is more expedient. A cinder block, a quick bash in the head and over the side….
Everybody wins, they get to meet the pedophile prophet and 72 virgins who look like me, and we get rid of some shitbags.
Exactly! The fish food employment agency may be more expedient, but I’m sure more than a few would fit perfectly in the distance ordnance tester job role.
Nothing to see here, move along.
2000 years of Irish cops. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
The drivers were reported to have eaten nothing but beans for the last 2 months…
Gas cylinders???
I wonder if they were filled with a hazardous chemical mixture left over from C-Rat’s from Vietnam…
That will kill anything or anyone !!!
They brought them into their country.
