Paris man attempts to ram car into crowd outside mosque in Creteil suburb
One incident is merely that. Two incidents suggest concern. Three incidents show a trend. We are now at two.
[DW] Gay Paree police have said that no one was hurt in the attempted attack and that the man were tossed into the calaboose. Reports indicate that the perpetrator had wanted to avenge attacks linked to the so-called "Islamic State."

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
French authorities on Thursday night said that the attacker had failed to run his car into a crowd outside a mosque in the Gay Pareeian suburb of Creteil because of barriers set up in front of the religious site.

The driver reportedly tried to repeatedly break through the barrier, but expeditiously departed at a goodly pace after realizing he couldn't go further. He was later incarcerated

 in his home.

Local media reported that the man had wanted to avenge attacks carried out by the so-called "Islamic State" jihadist group, which over the past years have killed dozens of people in the French capital. French news agency Agence La Belle France Presse (AFP) said the man had made "confused remarks" about the jihadist attacks carried out in La Belle France in recent years.

Unconfirmed reports suggest the perpetrator was a 43-year-old Armenian.

The incident mirrors last week's attack outside a mosque in the Finsbury Park area of north London, when a man plowed a van into a crowd of worshippers, killing one and injuring about a dozen peope. The perpetrator, identified as 48-year-old Darren O., was detained soon after and charged with terrorism-related murder and attempted murder.

"What has happened in Creteil seems to justify the fears I expressed following the attack by the Finsbury Park mosque in London," Abdallah Zekri of the French Council of the Moslem Faith told AFP.

However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
 French authorities said that an investigation into Thursday's failed attack would continue to be carried out by regular police, rather than by an anti-terrorism unit. Police said they would first determine whether the perpetrator was sane and could be held accountable for his actions.
What's the French word for "intifada?"
