Two French Police Disarmed over Radicalization Fears

[AnNahar] French authorities have confiscated the service weapons of two police members over fears of Islamist radicalization, sources said Friday, in the wake of the stabbing to death last week of four police staff.

The assailant in the October 3 attack was a police IT expert who converted to Islam about 10 years ago and, according to Sherlocks, had adopted increasingly radical beliefs.

The interior ministry has been under immense pressure to explain how it missed potential warning signs from an employee who had worked for years at the Gay Paree police headquarters where he stabbed four colleagues to death with a kitchen knife and an oyster shucker.

The two police members were disarmed over suspicions that they too had become radicalized, a source in the Gay Paree police said, without giving their names or ranks.

A request has been filed to suspend one of them, the source added. All French police carry semi-automatic pistols as service weapons.

The interior ministry has set up a dedicated cell to track potential Islamist murderous Moslems within the ranks of the security forces.

Le Gay Pareeien newspaper reported this week that 19 interior ministry employees were under surveillance.

Oh dear. That doesn’t sound good.

Interior Minister Christophe Castaner has admitted there had been a "malfunction" in not reporting warning signals from the attacker, Mickael Harpon, who had defended the massacre of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo

French President Emmanuel Macron blamed Harpon's attack on "a distorted, deadly Islam" and vowed to build in La Belle France a "society in a state of vigilance."

#1 Only disarmed ? I think anybody even suspected of radicalism should be disallowed entry into govt buildings, a uniform.

#3 I'm surprised the French did something other than the usual denials of any conflict with Islam. Got to give them a little credit for that. However...

We seen dis movie before. In the final scene, after the big massacre, the camera pans slowly across a room full of filing cabinets labeled Loup Solitaire

#4 I'll bet the dedicated cell has itself one or two Abduls in it. The Obama theory that muslims would understand this kind of terrorism better, hence what we need is more muslims in the security structure.

#5 Is it just me, or hasn't there been remarkably little said or shown, during coverage of this latest kerfuffle, of the drab old hulk waaaay over yonder past the Parvis?
