Man Decapitated in Suspected Islamist Attack on Air Products Factory in France
Man Decapitated in Suspected Islamist Attack on Air Products Factory in France
One person was decapitated and two others wounded in an apparent terror attack on a U.S.-owned factory in France, President Francois Hollande said Friday.
A car crashed through the gates of the Air Products plant in Saint-Quentin Fallavier. southeastern France, shortly after 10 a.m. local time (4 a.m. ET). It was followed by an explosion.
Hollande said a suspect had been arrested and there was "no doubt" that the attacker — possibly acting with an accomplice — intended to blow up the entire plant.
The president — who told reporters that the decapitated body was found with "inscriptions" on it — said the attack bore the hallmarks of terrorism, adding that security has been stepped up at sensitive sites in France.
French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve told reporters at the scene that the suspect was known to authorities and had previously been investigated for radicalization but surveillance ended in 2008.
An interior ministry official earlier told NBC News that an explosion occurred after a car drove onto the scene.

An interior ministry official earlier told NBC News that an explosion occurred after a car drove onto the scene.
The severed head was found hanging on a fence along a nearby road, according to local newspaper La Dauphine Libere, which said that an Islamist flag also was found nearby.
Air Products said the situation at the site had been "contained" and that all its employees had been evacuated from the site and accounted for.
"The site is secure," the Allentown, Pennsylvania-based company said in a statement. "Our crisis and emergency response teams have been activated and are working closely with all relevant authorities."
The beheaded person was not a worker at the factory, Le Monde reported, citing prosecutors.

Let's see:
A Muslim commits a heinous crime shouting Allah Akbar it's a lone wolf and nothing to do with Islam.
A white guy commits a heinous crime against a minority group and all white Americans (and a flag) are GUILTY!
Welcome to the 21st century.
I call it the 21st Century Freak Show.
Anonymous,

I don't recognize the world in which I'm living.
Stop the world! I wanna get off!

American history is a tug of war between competing political factions, some right, some wrong and some evil. The side that gives up first, loses.
The Supreme Court has issued illegal rulings before. We can win and we’ve won before. These have been hard years, but there have been hard years before. The FDR era was terrible. The 70s were terrible. But each dark time inspired a new generation of conservatives to make a come back with refreshed ideas and take back the country.
Pastorius,
The more Muslims run rampant, the more they [the Globalists] will ratchet up rhetoric about other "threats" like racists, bikers, Global Warming deniers, Hobophobes, Transphobes, etc.
Correct!
