Incident in Paris

Policeman killed in Paris shooting - BBC News


One policeman has been killed and a second wounded in a shooting in central Paris, police say.

Some reports say a gunman who fired on them has been shot dead. The Champs Elysees, where the shooting occurred, has been sealed off.

France goes to the polls on Sunday in the first round of the presidential election.
Jihadism is a major issue in the vote after attacks claimed by so-called Islamic State.

I think you should rename the title.

It was an Islamic attack on Champs Elysees.

Inconsiderate of the terrorist to interrupt these filthy rich African shoppers

[harrybarracuda]

Perhaps, in keeping with the other thread, it should be renamed "Terror attack not foiled in France".

I reported the "incident" within minutes of it being broadcast on Sky News and at that time it was unclear as to what had happened. Should I have waited until full details were known ? What knobs you are !

you might want to ask yourself why you're in such a rush to start a thread on a thai based forum about something that happened in paris.

next time do yourself a favor and take a deep breath when the urge to be 'first' wells up inside you.

Actually yes, you probably should have.

It would have made you look slightly less like a c u n t.

I have often been alerted to important news by reading posts on this forum and I reported the incident on here immediately after it was broadcast by Sky News. I was watching Sky News and they referred to it a "breaking news".

Those who have criticised my post are just dummies, pissed or possibly both.

"Something happened in Paris" is not "news".

It's a fucking filler for Sky to keep people interested you moron.

Next time try Google News or NewsNow.

They said a policeman had been shot. Clearly you regard this as unimportant. Ugo Ehiogu is dead as well. Off you go, nitwit !

Good thread Digby, shame the PC mod(s) previously removed the other threads on the religion of peace, that offered a chance to neatly combine these attacks

but

Sky News

What a pile of biased dung.

Here is their latest article in full, nowhere does it mention he was a Muslin, an immigrant, a darkie, not even using the usual oblique made up word islamist
Nothing !

I do like this bit though

A neighbour said: "I think everyone here is in shock.

Yes what a shock!
So brainwashed that it has to happen right under their noses before they can see that wonderful diversity is vibrant is ways they didn't expect...

What we know about Champs-Elysees gunman as Paris home raided

"I never noticed anything abnormal about the guy," a neighbour says of the man whose Paris family home is searched by officers.




The man police believe carried out the shooting on the Champs-Elysees in Paris had reportedly been flagged as an extremist to French authorities.
A police document obtained by the Associated Press (AP) identifies the address searched in the eastern Paris suburb of Chelles as the family home of Karim Cheurfi, a 39-year-old with a police record.
The Frenchman was convicted of attacking a police officer in 2001, according to archive reports in the French newspaper Le Parisien.
Cheurfi was also known to have extreme beliefs, according to two police officials, speaking to AP on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to publicly talk about the probe.


A neighbour said: "I think everyone here is in shock. It's clear that we are in shock. And that we've got to this point is very serious. Especially because this doesn't seem to resemble anyone from Chelles.
"I don't know anyone here who could just lose it and do this kind of thing.
Police tape surrounded the quiet, middle-class neighbourhood as residents expressed their dismay at the searches.

The gunman was shot dead at the scene and a pump-action shotgun and knives found in his car.
An anti-terror investigation is under way into the incident at the heart of the French capital, which Islamic State has said it carried out.
The extremist group named the attacker as Abu Yusuf al Beljiki and suggested he was a Belgian.
Interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said it was too early to say what the motive for the attack was, but that it was clear the police officers had been deliberately targeted.
Security expert Major General Chip Chapman told Sky News: "French security agencies know 2,000 dangerous or potentially dangerous terrorists in France. But you only have resources to follow so many."
The incident follows two recent attacks on soldiers providing security at prominent locations around Paris - one at the Louvre museum in February and one at Orly airport in March.
