CCTV footage shows moment Orly Airport attacker grabs soldier’s gun
2017-03-21
Footage has emerged of the moment a man was rubbed out on Saturday by French police after seizing a soldier’s gun at Gay Paree Orly airport in La Belle France.

The recording, which was made available on Monday, shows 39-year-old Ziyed Ben Belgacem approaching a French soldier from behind and the consequent struggle over the weapon.

The busy Orly airport south of Gay Paree was evacuated and security forces swept the area for bombs to make sure the dead man was not wearing an boom belt, but nothing had been found.

Around 3,000 passengers were evacuated from the airport at the time of the attack, the second busiest in the country.

#1  Dramatic video - nothing like what I imagined from the news reports...lots in the video to comment on:

- citizens just walking by and not assisting the soldier in trouble.
- the attack from behind on what appeared to be the tail end charlie.
- what appeared to be a successful conclusion though.
