Five Muslims from Algeria, with a sixth person now arrested as well. I read it in only one news source - all others carefully and sensibly avoid to mention the ethnic identity of those persons at all. Some even did not call them "men", but just "persons" indeed".

Oh this political correctness sensibility!
