Its Chrismas time, Islamists are looking to score against the infidels
Rail safety teams had their hands full on Friday, December 11, when at the beginning of the afternoon, they checked a 21-year-old man at the Matabiau station in Toulouse and found him to be in possession of two loaded handguns, a balaclava, of suras from the Koran and a prayer rug.
Alerted by his behavior, railway police officers asked him for his papers while he was about to board a train towards Lyon. This young man, whose last known domicile is in Troyes, in Aube, carried two loaded pistols and several objects related to religion.
Once arrested, he was brought back to the Toulouse central police station and very quickly entrusted to investigators from the regional service of the Toulouse judicial police (SRPJ), in charge of investigations by the prosecution.
He was hanging out in the Izards district
What did he want to do with these weapons? Difficult to say, since during his police custody, this gentleman was obviously not very explicit … Even if the weapons were real and could have killed anyone, the possibility of terrorism is not being considered. “It has been dismissed at the moment”, a source close to the case assures us.
This individual from Mayotte “does not present any objective sign of radicalism”, according to Dominique Alzéari, the public prosecutor. Homeless, he has crisscrossed France for several months. He was recently checked by the police force in the district of Izards, north of Toulouse, where he was allegedly “employed” as a supervisor of a drug outlet.
Charged and imprisoned
Did he get his pistols to protect himself, in this neighborhood where many shootings took place during the summer? To answer these questions and the gray areas of this case, the prosecution decided to open a judicial investigation.
The suspect was indicted for weapons law violations before being jailed. The SRPJ’s investigation is now continuing on an interrogatory commission. While waiting to learn more about his profile, the police will try to analyze the weapons to find out if they were used for a felony or an offense.
