Knifeman 'shouting religious slogans about the Prophet' is shot and wounded after attacking police in Cannes who were saved by their bulletproof vests
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Knifeman is shot and wounded after attacking three police officers in Cannes

  • Threatened staff outside main Police Commissariat 'in the name of the Prophet'

  • Investigating source says he 'pulled open car door and started stabbing' at 6am

  • Assailant identified as 37-year-old Algerian who 'wanted to kill a cop', police said
The attacker was from the Algerian port of Skikda, and entered France through Italy.

‘He obtained a residence permit in Italy and he came to France to commit his crime,’ said David Lisnard, the Mayor Cannes.
Update from MSN at 6:40 p.m.
French interior minister Gerald Darmanin added that the assailant is a 37-year-old Algerian passport holder who arrived in Europe around 2009-10 and has been in France since 2016, having traveled from Italy where he had a residence permit.

Darmanin said the attacker had been trying to obtain a French resident card for "several weeks" but had not been granted one.
And there we have the motive for his attack on a uniformed unbeliever.
The assailant suffered unspecified injuries and is currently "between life and death" at Cannes hospital. He had no previous criminal record in France, said Darmanin.

#4 Religious slogans; what is that?

Like, "Mo prayers, Mo Prophet" or "Crescents five times a day is the new French diet".

There some sort of source material for these slogans?

Take him in the back and 'vaccinate' him.
Boosters too, boss?
Yeah. Boosters too.
