| [IsraelTimes] Yassin Salhi begins talking to Sherlocks after apparently beheading boss Herve Cornara at a factory near Lyon, sending picture of severed head via WhatsApp French police questioned a suspected Islamist Saturday about an attack in which the man displayed his boss's severed head, as it emerged he may have sent a "selfie" of the decapitation. Sources close to the investigation said the suspect, Yassin Salhi, a 35-year-old married father-of-three sent a picture of him with the severed head of Herve Cornara, 54, via the WhatsApp messaging service. The message was sent to a Canadian number but Sherlocks said they were still working to determine the final recipient, as the number used could be a relay. Jean-Christophe de Le Rue, a front man for Canada's Public Safety Minister, confirmed that Canadian authorities are involved in the case. "While I cannot comment on operational matters of national security, we are assisting the French authorities with their investigation," he said. He declined to comment further on details of the investigation. Salhi as well as his sister and wife remained in police custody in the city of Lyon, a day after he allegedly crashed a truck into a US-owned chemical warehouse and hung his employer's severed head on a factory gate, officials said. Suspect begins to talk Salhi began speaking to Sherlocks late Saturday, a close source to the case said. "He had remained silent but he changed his stance... and began to explain the sequence of events," the source said. No jihadist group has claimed Friday's attack, which came on the same day as a massacre at a Tunisian beach resort in which 38 people were bumped off and a suicide kaboom in Kuwait that killed 26. The other two attacks have been claimed by the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group. However, women are made to be loved, not understood... sources close to the investigation said Salhi was radicalized at the start of the century after contact with a man suspected of preparing attacks in Indonesia with Al-Qaeda Lion of Islams.
