Bomb Blast In Lyon France by AminLarry(m): 12:33pm On Jun 26, 2015
French President Francois Hollande
confirmed that a Friday incident at a factory in
southeastern France was a “pure terrorist
attack.”

Hollande said a body had been found, along
with a severed head with a message. He said
a suspect
had been arrested and identified.
Full story below…
A suspected Islamist attacker pinned a
severed head covered with Arabic writing to
the gates of a
gas factory in southeastern France on Friday.
French news agency AFP reported.
One person is in police custody and is
suspected of involvement in the attack, which
also involved at least one explosion.Joelle
Huillier, a local politician, told BFMTV. He is
being questioned by police, she said.
A source cited by BFMTV also said a severed
head had been put in front of the company,
next to which
was found an Islamist flag. CNN has not been
able to confirm the report independently.
A man described as a witness, whose name
was given as Patrice, also told BFMTV that a
group of
men carrying Islamic flags forced their way
into the factory, beheaded a person and
targeted gas tanks.
Le Monde newspaper cited unidentified
sources as saying that two people rammed a
vehicle into the building, causing the
explosion. Banners in Arabic that haven’t yet
been examined were found at the
scene, the paper added.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said its anti-
terrorist section was opening an investigation
into the
attack. It is investigating possible murder and
assassination attempts by organized gangs in
relation to a terrorist enterprise; destruction
and degradation resulting from explosive
materials by organized gangs in relation to a
terrorist enterprise; and terrorist conspiracy
to commit crimes against people, the Paris
prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for the company concerned,
Air Products, confirmed there had been “an
incident” at its Grenoble location.
Spokeswoman Nicola Long said emergency
services were at the scene. There was an
explosion, she said, and a fire that has been
put
out. She was not able to give any information
on any deaths or injuries. The company
supplies gases for industrial use.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve is
making his way to the scene in the small
town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, between
Lyon and Grenoble.
President Francois Hollande, who’s been at a
summit of European leaders in Brussels,
Belgium, will give a statement in the
afternoon, the Elysee Palace said.
Security has been heightened in France since
an Islamist terror attack in January , when
attackers
targeted the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine
and a kosher supermarket in Paris.
