Ayoub El Khazzani, the 25-year-old gunman from Morocco who opened fire on a train in France last week, intended to murder everyone on the train as part of a Muslim terrorist attack before being stopped by citizens, revealed French Prosecutor Francois Molins on Tuesday.
El Khazzani, who lived in Spain where he was flagged as a potential jihadist by intelligence services that alerted France about him before the attack, was armed for a massacre, Molins said.
He was toting an AKM assault rifle replete with 270 rounds of ammo, a Luger M80 automatic pistol packed with a full clip, a box-cutter, and a container the size of a standard water bottle full of gasoline, reports CNN.
"According to all of the witness accounts we've gathered...(El Khazzani) wouldn't have hesitated to use all the arms in his possession - assault rifle, pistol and box-cutter - if it wasn't for the remarkable intervention of the passengers," Molins said.

Awww, ya think?
Let’s roll!!!
I for one will not ever go down to a terrorist sitting in my damn seat.
Gee, Obozo would never do that.
OK, what is a Luger M80?
Better than the label had Bammy been in charge.
How ‘bout that? The French have huevos enough to at least admit a terrorist attack! (If you won’t identify the problem, you are unlikely to find the solution.)
Shut
the
Front
Door.
A real terrorist? Honestly?
Must have been Amish.
Looks like a Browning Hi-Power. Sounds like a South African copy.
The passengers he threatened apparently decided so and stomped his evil ass.
Like the jock says on Horrible Henry: I dunno.
As long as you don’t give yourself away. I recall that there was an Israeli gentleman on the flight, he may have had prior military experience, and he was murdered in his seat before the hijacking occurred. No one knows why he was killed or what caused the nearby terrorist to target him.
Like I said, the passengers ‘rolled’ on him without waiting for the politicians to figure it out.
It wasn’t work place violence by a religion of peace adherent?
If it happened in LAX it would have been.
From what I have read, at least some of the parts are interchangeable with the Browning HP.
IIRC, a couple of US servicemen on the train (accounts vary as to branch, but the US Marines were mentioned in the early accounts) heard the terrorist loading and cocking the AK, recognized the sound, and jumped him before he went on a rampage.
