Wrong. It is a terrorist attack.

3 moslem paratroopers of the French Army were recently killed by unknown men on mopeds/motorcycles in two separate incidents this past week.

Motor scooter? They gave their (religious) identity away! In Turkey, that was almost the top method of transport if one did not take a bus.

  The same gun was used and the same MO as io the murder of three French Paratroopers outside their base in Montauban and Toulouse in the SW of France.    

This is the worst incident of violence against Jews in France in thirty years.   

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, and with the French people. 

Thank God they have a strong determined leader, Nicolas Sarkozy, as head of state.

UPDATE: PRESIDENT NICOLAS SARKOZY HAS RAISED THE TERRORISM ALERT IN SW FRANCE TO HIGHEST LEVEL

Prayers for the victim’s family and friends.

Did anyone else notice the French Ambassador to Israel’s last name is “Bigot?”

The three recently murdered soldiers were of North African origin, and a fourth who was injured is from the French Caribbean. Now Jewish people.

Looks more and more like neo-nazis. Sky News here is reporting that three soldiers last year who also come from the barracks the dead soldiers are from were expelled from the French Army because of extreme neo-nazi behaviour, including dressing up in nazi clothes and taking nazi salute photos.
