‘Jihadist propaganda’ found on computer of man who deliberately drove into French soldiers

From the Telegraph

Investigators discovered jihadist propaganda on Saturday on the computer of a French Muslim who rammed his car into four soldiers – only hours after a prosecutor ruled out terrorism as a motive for the attack.

“JIhadist propaganda images were found on computer equipment belonging to the driver,” Alex Perrin, a local prosecutor, revealed. He did not immediately give details of the images.

Earlier Mr Perrin had said there was “no evidence that could indicate an act of terrorism” even though he said the 29-year-old unemployed man of Tunisian descent had reportedly been heard shouting “Allahu Akhbar” (Arabic for ‘God is the greatest’)

Mr Perrin said the man had told emergency workers who gave him first aid that he “wanted to be killed by soldiers and to kill soldiers” because they “killed other people.”

More than 10,000 soldiers are deployed across the country to guard potential terrorist targets, schools, synagogues and mosques.
