A radical Islamic terrorist was stopped during a stabbing spree by French bowls players. CTV News reports:
They only went out to play a calm game of petanque and enjoy some late summer warmth by a Parisian canal. By the end of the evening, the three friends had neutralized a knife-wielding attacker who had stabbed seven people, with an unlikely weapon: the game’s clanking — and hefty — metal balls.
Lobbing them in their dozens at the attacker and whacking him on the head with a wooden plank, they managed to bring the horror that befell the 19th district on Sunday night to an end. The attacker is now in custody and police are trying to piece together what happened and what the attacker’s motivations for his bloody rampage were.
Without the bravery of the three friends, and the normally-slow-moving steel globes, it could have been a lot worse. The area, after all, was full of revelers from a popular cinema complex, tourists and families. Two British tourists were among those injured
Luckily for everyone there, petanque player Boudjema Hamani and his two friends were on hand and ready to wield their own weapons of choice.
Though this particular incident is colorful in its resolution, it underscores the plague of terrorism that continues to haunt Europe.
Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any help is very much appreciated.
I think this is one of the most vital information for me. And i am glad reading your article. But wanna remark on few general things, The web site style is perfect, the articles is really great : D. Good job, cheers
The mayor of London heard about the way in which these people took out the knife wielding attacker and immediately banned the owning and use of petanque balls and all other hard round object
Too bad they weren’t having a knife throwing contest. Same chance of the authorities finding out what the motivation of the “Alleged” attacker was (“Authorities are puzzled”) and zero cost in charging and trying him.
