French Media reported Wednesday that a car explosion outside of a synagogue near Paris was not related to the terror attack at the Charlie Hebdo offices, which left 12 people dead and several others injured.

A car caught fire in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles on Wednesday near a synagogue, an event the city's mayor, François Pupponi, called an "accident, not an attack," according to Metronews.

Yup.

Cars accidentally explode in front of synagogues every day.

[Responsibility2nd]

Sure.

Cars blow up by accident outside synagogues all the time.

[Diogenesis]

Parked cars do this how often?

[no-to-illegals]

yep, it’s only one of those tell a lie often enough moments....

[Da Coyote]

Riiiiiight.

Keep up that idiocy and they’ll be able to work for one of our alphabet networks.

[dfwgator]

Riiiiiight.

I own this very nice bridge over the river Seine that I’m looking to sell if anybody’s interested.

[duckworth]

Yeah, I suspect it was no accident. But then, I’m about 5,000 miles from the scene.

[Steely Tom]

Another Isolated Incident.

Well, if it were a terrorist attack, I’d say they were not trained well or had limited resources to mount a huge, fatal attack on the synagogue.

A professional would have blown up not only the car, but the synagogue.

[grania]

Yup. Cars accidentally explode in front of synagogues every day.

Only on those when there's been a major terrorist attack nearby. Isn't coincidence amazing?

[PROCON]

[WayneS]

I do not know French.

What sort of “mechanical failure” are they saying caused the explosion?

Of course, if the car was of French manufacture then I might find the “accidental explosion” claim a little more credible. Was the vehicle in question perhaps a 1972 Citroen DS?

[Riley]

It can't have been a VW Polo.

[UCANSEE2]

Maybe it was a Tesla. They catch on fire all the time.

[PROCON]

LOL, great commercial.

[ransomnote]

What would make a car “accidentally” explode? These aren’t ancient Ford Pinto’s we’re talking about, right?

Cars burn in Paris a lot of times. Espceially during the New Year celebrations...
