This gang had already kidnapped several people before they kidnapped and killed this man. What happened to those other people? Were the police even trying to arrest them? I feel that there is much more to this story.
This story has been posted here for the last couple of days (from the French and Israeli press). The others were actually attempted kidnappings, and the only time the gang was successful was with this man. The victims targeted in the others were Jews, from a Jewish neighborhood of Paris, and the kidnappers were - guess what - North African Muslims.
