Driver shouting 'Allahu Akbar' ploughs car into pedestrians
Quote:
A lone assailant shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) rammed French pedestrians with his car in the central town of Dijon on Sunday night, injuring 11 people, in the second such attack in France in two days.
The attacker in Dijon, who shouted to passers by that he was acting on behalf of “the children of Palestine,” was described by police as a 40-year-old who had been receiving psychiatric treatment until the middle of last month. He was arrested after driving his Renault Clio into five separate groups of people during a half-hour period, injuring 11 people including two seriously.
After the attack, the Socialist party defence spokesman, Eduardo Rihan Cypel, said that there was no need to panic.
According to authorities, more than 1,000 French nationals have been in contact with jihadist networks in Syria and Iraq.
Every time I read "Allahu Akbar" I start singing "No Problems" by Azealia Banks. I don't even think that's what's being said on the song, but I do it every time.
