Another terrorist attack in Paris’ Orly Airport (Update)

| March 18, 2017

According to ABC News a known terrorist tried to grab a rifle from a female soldier who was on duty there. The jihadist was shot and killed by the other two soldiers who were with her;

“This morning at 8:30 at Orly Airport, an individual tried to attack French soldiers in order to take the weapon of one of the soldiers — he was not able to do it and was shot and killed by soldiers,” Minister of the Interior Bruno Le Roux said early Saturday.

France’s Minister of Defense, Jean-Yves Le Drian, said, the suspect attacked three soldiers patrolling the airport. He tried to take the weapon of one of the soliders [sic], a woman.

“She was able to hold to her weapon. Two other soldiers shot at [the] individual to protect her. I congratulate them,” Le Drian said.

Iniially, French officials claimed that they didn’t know the guy, but an update to the first story says that the fellow who was killed has been on French government’s radar since the 2015 attacks in Paris;

The Paris prosecutors’ office says the 39-year-old suspected attacker who was shot and killed at Orly Airport had already crossed authorities’ radar for suspected Islamic extremism.

Prosecutors say Saturday that the suspect’s house was among scores searched in November 2015 in the immediate aftermath of suicide bomb-and-gun attacks that killed 130 people in Paris. Those searches targeted people with suspected radical leanings.

So apparently, the government knowing who the bad guys are doesn’t keep us regular folks safe. We have to do that part of the war against terrorists ourselves.

UPDATE: “A French official connected to the investigation confirms media reports identifying the Orly Airport attacker as Ziyed Ben Belgacem, a 39-year-old born in France.”

If you’re unarmed and attack three soldiers who are trained and armed, chances are the encounter will not end well for you. Good work by our French counterparts.

It boggles my mind that liberal judges shot down the President’s travel ban on immigrants from these failed states. Maybe they (judges) should move to France where “anything goes”. Not saying the perp was from one these “garden spots”, but I have a feeling he probably was.

Wrong…

While he may have been born in France, The French aren’t exactly known for being a melting pot type of society.
Since the 1950s many of their immigrant enclaves have carved out mini caliphates in large cities and rejected French Culture. They identify themselves more as Algerian, Morrocan or other North African Muslims, not a French, even they are the 3rd Generation born in country.

Hey! French rifles fired multiple times and never dropped! They’ll be worth millions!

Okay, all jokes aside, nice shooting by the three French soldiers invlolved. Especially for the lady who kept control of her weapon and ventilated the asshole trying to take it.

Along the same lines…..
Take that white flag and use it to cover the face of the deceased perp.

I’m getting curiously aroused at the thought of a radical jihadist getting greased by a hot French chick.

Good on Le Frogs too for keeping their radar up on this stuff. Our own government keeps a list of domestic terrorists, it’s a leftover from a prior administration, but it reportedly only tracks old white guys who say bad things about rap music…

You’re starting down a pretty slippery slope when you bring up the Kardashians, Jonn.

And for the Vichy grammarians, that should be Les Frogs. Sorry for the error…

The gen-dame was the target and reportedly retained her weapon. Bet she didn’t. Bet he got it from her and the other two (gender unknown) double tapped his ass. I want to see the video.

The French should pull out of the ISAF Coalition in Afghanistan to appease the jihadists so they won’t get attacked in their own cities. But no one listens to me. I’m no grad student.

Hey! All y’all folks looking to die for Allah? That”s right, just stand over there by that wall…

“He grabbed the female soldier and used her as a shield. They struggled over her weapon, the prosecutor said. With the soldier down on her knees, the suspect rose enough for the other two soldiers to shoot him several times. The whole scene unfolded in just a couple of minutes, Molins said.”

Well, that explains that and now makes much more sense. He was all ready armed, grabbed the gen-darme and was shot dead by her partners when he was up and she was down.
