Interesting development in the Paris attack

| No Comments

From Breitbart:

GERMAN POLICE INTERCEPTED CAR WITH EIGHT AK-47S, GRENADES, TNT, PARIS PROGRAMMED INTO SATNAV
German police are scrambling to discover whether they inadvertently prevented another Islamist from joining the Paris massacre, after they arrested a man driving with a significant cache of weapons heading to Paris.

The arrest took place on Thursday the 5th, when during a routine inspection police investigated a car driven by a 51-year-old Montenegrin man as he drove west on the major Autobahn-8 road, shortly after crossing the border from Austria. When officers found two handguns and a grenade under the bonnet of the car, the search intensified, and they soon discovered a significant hidden arsenal.

Also secreted about the car behind panels were eight Kalashnikov assault rifles with ammunition, several handguns, two hand grenades, and 200 grams of TNT, reports Bayerischer Rundfunk.

The car wasn’t only being driven west. Bavarian interior minister Joachim Herrmann has confirmed that based on “the data of the man’s [GPS] navigation system, and his cell phone there is strong evidence that the man wanted to go to France”. German media have reported he specifically had Paris programmed into his sat-nav.

And of course, these scum were aided in the fact that France has draconian gun control laws - again, from Breitbart:

STRICT GUN CONTROL, BANS IMPOTENT AS TERRORISTS OPEN FIRE IN PARIS
France’s strict gun controls–including all-out gun bans on certain categories of firearms–proved impotent on November 13 as terrorists opened fire, killing more than 150 people and injuring 200 more.

AFP reported that “the attacks took place at a concert hall and several bars and restaurants in eastern Paris, as well as the Stade de France national stadium north of the centre.”

The Telegraph reported that the gunmen had “Syrian and Egyptian passports on them, and that at least one of the attackers was a Frenchman known to authorities on what is called a ‘Fiche S’, a watchlist of the security services.” Yet they had no problems acquiring the weapons necessary to carry out this heinous attack.

There were over 1,000 souls at the concert venue. If 10 or 20 of them had been armed, there would have been a completely different outcome. If the Jihadists had known they were going into a place where people could shoot back, they probably would have never launched their attack.
