France arrests 16-year-old who said he wanted to make explosive belt, ‘become a martyr' at Paris Olympics
2024-04-25
[IsraelTimes] French anti-terrorism authorities have arrested a 16-year-old youth after he said on social media that he wanted to die a martyr at the Olympic Games in Gay Paree this summer, a spokesperson says, confirming an earlier report by BFMtv.

"He was arrested after he publicly announced on social media that he planned to create an boom belt to become a martyr," the spokesperson says, adding that an investigation is underway into whether he had genuine intentions to commit a terrorist act.

Conflict in the Middle East and Ukraine as well as a threat of Islamist terror attacks have led La Belle France, which is hosting the Olympics this summer, to raise its security alert to its highest level.

The French government has asked about 45 foreign countries to contribute several thousand extra military, police and civilian personnel to help safeguard the Gay Paree Olympics this summer, sources told Rooters last month.

#5  Nice.

I wondered the other day how gay the Olympics will be.

The answer seems to be Falling From the Roof.

#4  Or perhaps, no insinuation being intended, "Cbarlie Hebdo man?"

#3  'Twas tough to tell which was the madder,
The Charlie Heb reader in chador,
His torch held aloft...
Or the Muslim mass wafting
Along like Le Pew! [petals, attar,
and Arabic terrorist chatter]
