    Mod: removed hyperbole from re-reg troll's post.
    A man has been shot dead after trying to seize a soldier's weapon at Orly airport in Paris, French officials say.

    ....

    The man was on a watch-list of radicalised individuals and had been involved in a shooting hours earlier in the north of Paris, officials say.

    The suspect in the earlier incident was stopped at a checkpoint and fired at police with a pellet gun before escaping in a car that was later found abandoned in the southern suburbs.

    From all reports it doesn't seem terribly organised.

    I wish they could catch this Alan Snackbar fella. He seems to be responsible for all these terrorists attacks.

    2 separate incidents...At a check point a man pulled a gun and shot a policeman...Non life threatening injury.
    At Paris Orly airport someone tried to grab a gun from a solder...He was shot dead....Airport closed for a security check and a bomb sweep.... Purely precautionary.

    This OP is the online equivalent of shouting fire in a crowded theatre.

    Terrible news coming from Paris this morning:
    A man screaming Allahu Akbar is shot dead in Orly airport after snatching a soldiers gun.
    A police officer is critical after a shooting at a road checkpoint north of Paris.

    What is the world coming to?
    Jesus Wept!

    Another IS attack methinks...

    Allegedly screaming Allahu Akbar. I understand he has mental health issues.

    On LCI they seem to say it was the same guy who shot a cop at a checkpoint alright.


    With a pellet gun...


    There are no suspect explosive devises in Orly or anything, so really once the special forces (called to check for explosives just in case) are all wrapped up, people should be left back in there.

    edit : yeah they're saying the cops knew him, and they're taking it as a terror threat alright. They are keeping the airport closed apparently, until 15 pm. It's modus opperandi for special forces. Car parks are free for all travellers until tomorrow noon, so a lot of people might just head home. Must be a pain being stuck there.

    Your thread title is more sensationalist than the Sun OP. Whatever it was it is over so it's hardy breaking news at this stage.

    In keeping with the theme of IS a few of us should set up a caliphate in the mustard forum.

    Yeah, he seems like a lone delinquent wolf, radicalized, and looking for his moment of fame.

    He had car-jacked someone on his way there too.
