Hostage taker in France surrenders after stating Palestinian demands

By Paul Shindman, World Israel News

A gunman who held seven people hostage at a bank in France gave himself up and surrendered to police, ending a six-hour standoff, RTL News reported Thursday.

The unnamed 34-year-old man entered the bank late Thursday afternoon and threatened to blow it up. Negotiations continued throughout the evening, and the hostage taker was arrested around 10:50 p.m. No injuries were reported.

The man had walked into a branch of the BRED bank located in the city center of Le Havre. During the tense standoff the suspect released the hostages one by one.

A video posted on Twitter showed him emerging from the bank wearing what looked like a cape. As several policemen with shields and drawn weapons covered him during a short, tense encounter, the man was then pushed face-first against the wall of the bank and handcuffed.

A neighbor identified as Manon, who lives next to the bank, told RTL the man “came out with his hands in the air, he was hooded and you couldn’t see who it was. He surrendered calmly and carried the flag of Saudi Arabia on his back.”

“Then it went very quickly: the police handcuffed him, then took him behind the BRED,” Manon said.

“The hostages are released safe and sound,” French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin stated.

According to police, the hostage-taker gave two demands that he wanted announced in the media – to “free the Palestinian children unjustly imprisoned in Israel” and to give access to Palestinians under the age of 40 to pray at the Al Aqsa Mosque in the Old City of Jerusalem.

While prayer at the mosque is generally unrestricted, Israeli security authorities sometimes impose age limits on those who can attend prayers if they have intelligence reports that Palestinians are expected to commit disturbances.

The man is known locally to the intelligence services to be radicalized and with a history of psychiatric problems, a source close to the investigation told RTL. He reportedly has a criminal record that includes kidnapping, forcible confinement and carrying a weapon.

ISRAEL BELONGS TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE. Demand all you want, but when you are KNOWN TERRORISTS, you should not be able to step foot into that country OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY except where you were born.

DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS, MUSLIMS……………….yes, America, EVEN THE MUSLIMS HERE IN THE USA.

How about letting JEWS pray at their Temple Mount?

Considering who built and founded the Temple Mount that would be the most sensible plan ever.

If the two blights on top of the Temple Mount were so important and holey to the muslum vermin why did they use them as ammo dumps during the Six Day War?

What! Do my deceiving eyes tell me that he has psychiatric problems! He must be a misunderstood muslim. All muslims who break the law by murder, kidnaping, violence, bombing, et cetera seem to have “psychiatric problems”.

A short term in a psychiatric clinic, declared cured, and off to do more good in the community. Yeaaaah! Praise be Allah and all that b.s. Or maybe he will simply be released with the apology of the court?

Allahu akbar, y’all.

Six hours of negotiations? The police should have shot a few holes in his head. At least he would then have been a Holy man.
And this kind of vermin is living next to a bank ?……..just Brilliant !!!
