Terrorist attack in France, Lyon

Terrorist attack in France, Lyon
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/26/europe/france-attack/

Quote:One person has been beheaded and two people injured in a terrorist attack at a U.S.-owned gas factory near Lyon in southeastern France, President François Hollande said Friday.

The suspect's contacts with Muslim fundamentalists, and reports that Islamist flags or writings were found at the scene, point to a possible Islamist extremist motive.

I'm surprised to see no one has posted this in AF yet - Since it's still being developed and facts are not 100% determined until now I won't make any deep comments on the issue but it seems to be an attack by a Muslim against an American factory.

Quote:Witness: Islamist flags
Quote:Agence France-Presse news agency earlier reported that a suspected Islamist attacker pinned a severed head covered with Arabic writing to the gates of the factory, in an industrial area in the small town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, between Lyon and Grenoble.

A source cited by BFMTV also said a severed head had been put in front of the company, next to which was found an Islamist flag. CNN has not been able to confirm the report independently.

A man described as a witness, whose name was given as Patrice, also told BFMTV that a group of men carrying Islamist flags forced their way into the factory, beheaded a person and targeted gas tanks.

Le Monde newspaper cited unidentified sources as saying that two people rammed a vehicle into the building, causing the explosion. Banners in Arabic that haven't yet been examined were found at the scene, the paper added.

The Paris prosecutor's office said its anti-terrorism section was opening an investigation into the attack.
It is investigating possible murder and assassination attempts by organized gangs in relation to a terrorist enterprise; destruction and degradation resulting from explosive materials by organized gangs in relation to a terrorist enterprise; and terrorist conspiracy to commit crimes against people, the prosecutor's office said.

I'm going to wait a little more until I can make deeper comments and I don't want to run the risk on assuming things beforehand and getting kicked in the ass later.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
