#4  French daily = France Soir. It's on the verge of bankruptcy, owner has been trying to sell it before all this happened. The editor may thought he would lose his job anyway. Now will the French boycott France Soir? Will Mr. Lakah's relatives back in the old country keep their heads?

#3  Other web pages covering the firing, state the owner of the France Soir, Raymond Lakah, possibily also called Remi Lakah, is an Egyptian Coptic Christian.

Firing done very possibly for business reasons, as Mr. Lakah runs a travel agency for haj pilgrims.

#2  Looks like the French body rejected the spine implant.

It was expelled via its anus.

#1  Looks like the French body rejected the spine implant. Completely unsurprising.
