#1
Quote:French police detain man who 'shouted Arabic insults' before 'driving at soldiers'

The incident comes days after a radical Islamist gunman fired at police officers before holding
people hostage in a supermarket.

'French police have detained a man accused of trying to run over several soldiers who were
jogging near an army base.

The National Police said an individual was taken into custody after an operation at a market square
in Grenoble, following the attempted attack in the town of Varces-Allieres-et-Risset around nine miles
(15km) away.

Colonel Benoit Brulot said the driver circled the military barracks shouting insults in Arabic at several
groups of soldiers. He added that the man returned later and tried to hit four soldiers with his car before
making a quick getaway.

The army spokesman confirmed that none of the soldiers, from the 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade,
were injured. The failed attack comes as security services in the country are on high alert.

Last week an Islamist extremist shot at police returning from jogging in southern France, before taking
hostages in a supermarket in Trebes.
The hostage situation claimed four lives, including that of "hero" police officer Arnaud Beltrame.

It was the first militant attack since President Emmanuel Macron lifted a state of emergency.
Mr Macron said on Wednesday that France was locked in a fight against "clandestine Islamic fundamentalism",
as he paid tribute to Mr Beltrame, who took the place of a hostage in Friday's attack.
Pierre-Yves Sarzaud of the army's public relations unit told BFM TV that Thursday morning's incident appeared
to be deliberate.

He explained there was a gap of around 30 minutes between the insults and the driver returning to try and run
over soldiers. A source close to the investigation said the driver's motivations remained unclear, but that the
incident was being taken seriously.

If confirmed to be a deliberate act, it would not be the first time an assailant has used a vehicle to target members
of the security forces in France...'

But they're immigrants and borders are bad. Let them run people over and stop being racist.
Isn't the EU great?!
