An alleged Islamic extremist planned to attack two churches, according to reports
French police have arrested a man allegedly planning to launch an armed attack on two churches in Paris, the country’s top security official has announced.
A number of news agencies have described the man as an Islamic extremist.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the man, a 24-year-old Algerian computer science student, was arrested on Sunday in Paris. He is said to have lived in France for a number of years.
The man, who had been flagged by security officials last year, was arrested after he apparently accidentally shot himself and called for an ambulance, according to AP.

From the AP story linked at the source:
“The 24-year-old computer science student, who was also suspected in the death of a young woman whose body was found on Sunday just ahead of his arrest, had been flagged as a risk last year and earlier this year for intent to travel to Syria but there had been no specific reason to open a judicial investigation, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Wednesday.”
Aren’t they lucky that the only victim was a young woman he shot to death because they didn’t want to arrest him last year. (SARCASM!)
That woulda learned them less-than-loving Christians, huh, Barry?
Imagine that. An Islamic terrorist correctly identified in news reports instead of ‘youth’ or ‘asian’.....
Maybe the times they are a changing.....at least in Europe.
Joke would have been on them. In France, Catholic Churches are basically empty.
The French didn’t immediately surrender?
Wow.
They “foiled” the attack because the attacker accidentally shot himself.
The West has been so lucky for so long.... when the s^%$ REALLY hits the fan... NO ONE will be able to ask ‘What happened?’, AS IF-there has been no indication of problems!
Listening to Chris Plante having just talked about it.
No surprise there. As long as there are subhuman savages still living in Paris, there will be a danger to the normal people.
Bet France wishes now they never colonized Algeria.
Catholic ping!
I think the Charlie Ebdo massacre woke France up, at least for now.
Remeber what it was like right after 9/11. Everyone seemed pretty “awake” then too.
Give it a year or two without any attacks and they will be described as “youths” again, even in Paris.
Evil.
