Brussels Attack Possible Result Of French Blunder
2014-06-05
[Ynet] French report claims that shooting suspect Mehdi Nemmouche wasn't on 'List S' as authorities maintain; suspect passed through several countries un-hindered.

An error by French authorities may have been the reason that measures weren't taken to preemptively arrest 29-year-old Mehdi Nemmouche and prevent last week's shooting attack at a Jewish Museum in Brussels, reported La Belle France's Le Nouvel Observateur Tuesday.
Whoops! Perhaps this is why the lad wants to be tried by the French instead of the Belgians...
Nemmouche is the chief suspect in the shooting that killed at least three people including an Israeli couple from Tel Aviv. Upon his arrest he was found with a video in which a voice said the film was made because a camera meant to broadcast the killings live failed to function.

Fezzik: I just figured why you give me so much trouble. Smashes man in black against a rock, he groans.
Man In Black: Why's that, do you think?
Fezzik: Well, I haven't fought just one person for so long. Been specializing in groups. Battling gangs for local charities, that kind of thing. Smashes into another rock.
Man In Black: Why should that make such a... Fezzik backs the Man in Black into a boulder, knocking his breath out. Difference?
Fezzik: Slowing down. Well, you see, you use different moves when you're fighting half a dozen people than when you only have to be worried... about ... one.
