Terrorist attacks in France
 
Two separate attacks on off duty French soldiers and now an attack at a Jewish school that killed three children and one adult.

All three attacks were done by an assailant riding a motor scooter.

Local newspaper in the morning claimed all the soldiers were of North African origin. Seems this guy, as loony as he is, may have planned these attacks to some extent, and therefore also continue if not caught.

The three most likely scenarios, imo:

- it is a rightwing extremist (the soldiers were of Northafrican descent)

- it is a psychotic maniac living his mad dream

- it is a Muhammeddan on jihad

I agree. I also see these as most likely.

Thats possible if its just singleman "army". In case Al-Qaeda or another loony bin collection would be behind this wouldn't there already be congestion in responsibility claimers' podium?

AQ's current doctrine is more to facilitate and incourage the lone wolf Jihadist, but not nessary provide direct support or command; much like the Fort Hood shooting(s).

Dead soldiers and a Jewish school...yeah, I'm on the level with Skybird here, either a jihadist or a right-winger.

Not a good day for France, hope they catch the bastard.

I agree. Not really something to make jokes about.

Well I would rule out a lone jihadist seeing as the two troops where of North African descent they are more likely to be Muslim unless the attacker is trying to stir up violence(which might be the goal regardless of creed or craziness) .Sounds more like a right wing extremist I think that a one man jihad would target two white(and more than likely christian) off duty soldiers.Targeting the Jewish school would fit either type of nut though.A right wing extremist Western European seems more likely to target a non-white non-christian victim or anyone that seems leftist.
