A witness in the capital said he heard shots being fired and smoke coming from one of the vehicles, thought to be this Renault Mega
French anti-terrorism prosecutors opened an inquiry today after a suspected suicide attacker was seen targeting a line of police vans which were travelling up the Champs Elysee towards the Arc de Triomphe.
‘There was a sudden impact, and then a fireball,’ said an investigating source. ‘A gas bomb was in the car.
‘The man was very badly injured, and then pulled out of his damaged vehicle. He was badly injured in the collision and was taken away.
‘He did not cause any injuries, but the collision was a deliberate act.’
An Interior Ministry source meanwhile said that the attacker ‘is likely to have died following the attack’.
He added that ‘numerous weapons were found in his car boot’.
The specialist anti-terrorism officers confirmed they had opened an inquiry into the kamikaze attack.
It follows a series of terrorism incidents across France carried out by Islamic State terrorists, who have regularly used vehicles as weapons across Europe, including in Britain.

Today they want to ban guns! Maybe the next move is to ban automobiles?
Let the French enjoy their Islamic diversity ! Its so much more exciting to have such news every other day .

you can’t please the jihadi can you ?
this vehicular terrorism is becoming a daily occurance in the enlightened EU.
It could be right here in the USA but we just don’t know it because law enforcement and the enemedia have become experts at covering it up — as they did in a case reported right here on pamelageller when a f’ing muslum ran over a group of people in NYC at high speed (resulting in a British woman having her leg amputated). NYC authorities determined it was a “accident”.
Gee, what religion could the attackers be? Normally I’d say I haven’t seen this story reported on the enemedia, but I don’t bother watching them any more.
well, i’m guessing it’s not the Methodist Women’s Tuesday Morning Bible Study group from Topeka ……..
LOL. It must’ve been the Amish, they’re extwemists.
BAN muslims!

When you can’t go out without worrying about being stabbed, run over or blown up.
You voted for it, France. Enjoy.
I’ve made $84,000 so far this year working online and I’m a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I’ve made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless. Here’s what I do

marcon says ” it’s just going to be a way of life now “……….or, death, if you will……..the french voted for a liberal moslem lover……their culture will be destroyed as well as their citizens…….LOVE IT YET?……prayers to the citizens that had sense enough to vote for Le Pen…….this could be the USA if hillary had won……that was her plan….open borders…….
EXACTLY!!!
Gagging on lutefisk.
Lutefish looks like a tasty dish…gag.
Actually every once in a while it is a nice change, again, in small quantities.
That is an option. Though it looks like “lutefiskophobia”.
Any word if Macron has “condemned the attack in his strongest terms”?
I hope the Tour de France, which will be taking place shortlly, goes off without a hitch.
Tour de pakistan north.
So? Get used to it, you did vote for the status quo.
That should help tourism!
How is tourism going?
check the airfare NOW !…….it is really low…..imagine that…..my brother-in-law is french……he usually goes every summer to visit his family……not this summer even with airfare so low…..
It would be mighty interesting to see how the tourism industry has tanked across Northwestern Europe/Eurabia. I seem to remember a busload of Korean tourists being robbed by f’ing muslums in Paris this very year. If I want to get robbed why would I go all the way to Fwance to do so? I can get robbed right here in the USA.
All these extra police, special forces do not offer any more armed security but more fear.
The only way to make areas safe is to remove the danger and that is Islam
Are masks optional?
Gee i bet tourism is way down in beautiful gay Paris! In fact all through Europe it is probably way down thanks to the inbred invasion!
Ban muslums from driving
Just ban moslems.
Shows what communist leaders do best, then they joined the EU who provided all the Muslims. I loved the time I spent in France, but you could not pay me to go there today.
I wonder why Fwench law enforcement feel the need to conceal their identities behind balaclavas? Why don’t they just use keffiyehs?
