A Paris-born man who was shot dead by French security forces after he tried to grab an assault weapon from a soldier at a Paris airport was not on the government's list of people considered a national security threat, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.

The suspect, identified as 39-year-old Ziyed Ben Belgacem by multiple police and intelligence sources, was known to authorities for committing robberies and being a drug user. Belgacem served time in prison and released in Nov. 2016, the Paris prosecutor said at a news conference.

Investigators are searching for “clues, stories, and images” pertaining to the suspect and incident at Orly Airport early Saturday morning, France's interior minister said earlier Saturday.

France chose to have African colonies. If this involves Karma that’s the place to look. Most of these people, and this fellow’s name is so typically Algerian (Maghrebi Arabic dialect is its own language) it hurts, have free entry because of those past “sins”. For some reason, though, you don’t get this sort of thing from the Vietnamese, Caribbean, and Polynesian immigrants. Puzzling. /s

So true. Much of the recent horror inflicted on France by its Muslims has come at the hands of second- or even third-generation immigrants. The fact that they were birthed within the boundaries of France is meaningless.

Was this attack perpetrated by another Baptist?
