[AnNahar] A man driving a car with fake license plates tried to ram a group of soldiers out jogging in southeast La Belle France on Thursday, security sources told AFP. Speaking French and Arabic, the man first threatened a group of soldiers at around 8 am (0600 GMT) in Varces-Allieres-et-Risset, near Grenoble, and then tried to run down another group returning to their barracks from a jog, the sources added. "The soldiers managed to get up onto the pavement without being hit," army front man Colonel Benoit Brulon told AFP. The driver of the small Peugeot 208 hatchback, who was accompanied by a woman, sped off before being placed in durance vile I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! around lunchtime in Grenoble, police and military sources said. Prosecutors in Grenoble, a town in the foothills of the French Alps, said the incident was not being treated as a terrorist attack for the moment and the motive remained unclear.
