Default 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?

Or a white supremacist neo-Nazi if they exist in France. But on a scooter!

Seems to be an Islamist and confessing Al Quaeda-sympathiser who has been under long-running police observation in the past.

Apparently one of the clues that led police to him, was that he was making inquiries at local garages about having his now famous black scooter repainted.

Oops.

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).
