Shock in Hometown of Tunisian Suspect in France Attack

2021-04-25

That’d be the unidentified knifeman of yesterday’s story. See here for next steps in France.

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] A Tunisian man who stabbed to death a police employee in La Belle France in a suspected attack was depressed and not devout, relatives said Saturday, expressing shock and disbelief.

They identified him as Jamel Gorchene, 36, who hailed from M'saken -- the same hometown as Tunisian Mohammed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel,

...the jihad-curious French resident from Tunisia and father of three with a taste for petty criminality, a background of psychological problems — whatever that means — and a vast acquaintance in the jihad-curious world who finally dunnit...

who carried out a deadly attack in La Belle France in July 2016.

Bouhlel ploughed a truck into a crowd of people on the waterfront of the Mediterranean city of Nice as they celebrated Bastille Day, killing 86 before being rubbed out by police.

Thank goodness his former neighbour was not nearly as efficient.

That attack came less than a year after deadly assaults in November 2015 that saw 130 people killed in bombings and shootings across Gay Paree, including at the Bataclan concert hall.

"Jamel was a quiet person, reserved," said his cousin Noureddine, according to AFP.

"But he did not have much to do with religion, and was not particularly pious," he said, adding however that he had not seen his cousin for some time.

There is a pattern of the not-devout becoming radical when they arrive in Dar al Harb. Not all, but enough to cause problems.

Sameh, another cousin, recalled that Gorchene suffered from depression and was seeing a psychiatrist in La Belle France.

Depressed, and now he is dead. But suicide by cop as a result of jihad...

A brother-in-law said Gorchene recently returned home to Tunisia, where he spent two weeks.

Sameh confirmed that report, adding Gorchene apparently "planned on returning home definitively".

"He was expected to return home today," she said.

Does returning home in a pine box meet the criteria? Incidentally, will he get a place in Paradise for having died while merely injuring his unbeliever target?

"He simply changed when he arrived in Europe. What a 'orrible place."
