Female “soldier” overpowered and lost her gun to the radicalized muslim. She was then held hostage until other soldiers shot and killed the attacker, freeing the hostage.

I guess the female “soldier” watched too many GI Jane and Sheena movies.

“...The French and particularly Parisian economies heavily depend on tourism....”
