The latest from the Ministry of the Interior is that there was one weapon used in all the killings. There are indications that a neo-nazi, neo-fascist element within the military is suspected.
Eyewitnesses reported the killer had a tatoo, a hallmark of these groups. http://www.francetv.fr/info/live/message/4f6/721/32a/399/167/260/0a9/d47.html
That is incorrect. They do get them and have for the last 10 years or so...
Many thanks for this comprehensive update.
That mention of a tatoo on the face is a striking clue. Of course, the witness could be mistaken (and imagine the stress of such a scene!) Or, it could be a birthmark. Or, it could be camoflague paint. Some military types put paint on their faces - even if not needed - before an action, almost like an Apache’s warpaint.
The people of the Pyrenees are in great worry and grief about these crimes. The attacks are coming every four days. Let us pray for the police and investigators.
doesn’t sound like Muslim to me...
sounds more like a French Mcveigh
or someone still mad over Algeria..and way out there
they have old school nationalists there
They’re sported all over Turkey and in Iraq, people were getting them on all limbs so their family could identify their bodies if they were caught in a VBIED...not everyone is hard-core Islamist..
Police surround suspect in Toulouse school shooting
Police moved in before dawn on Wednesday to surround the home of the main suspect in the recent deaths of French soldiers and a deadly shooting spree at a Jewish school. France’s interior minister says the suspect has claimed links with al Qaeda.
Thank you for updates..
prayers
My point is now made with the arrest of a suspect. Don’t assume things by what the Koran or other writing say when it comes to the modern Islamists. There are multiple levels of conformity in the Muslim world, just as there are in other religions. There’s plenty that are occasional adherents and/or adopt modern trends.
