French police are chasing ‘four heavily armed people’ in a Citroen that forced its way through a motorway toll road heading for Paris
DAILY MAIL:
Police are reportedly chasing a car containing four ‘heavily armed men’ who stormed through a motorway toll road as they headed towards Paris.
French police are said to be in pursuit of a Citroën Berlingo after it forced its way through a toll on the A10 in the Ablis area of Yvelines in north-west France at lunchtime today.
The town is approximately 40 miles from the centre of Paris and the incident comes as police remain on high alert following a string of deadly terror attacks across the French capital last night.
Police have also confirmed they are currently hunting a black Seat vehicle, registered abroad, which is ‘wanted in connection with the attacks’.

The nightclub that was attacked in Paris was Jewish owned, and previously threatened
Last night while watching the islamic terror attack against the ‘unbelievers’ etc. unfold in Paris, one had to wonder where the Jewish target was, as typically when muslims attack, they hit a free speech target as well as a Jewish target as they did with Charlie Hebdo, Denmark etc. It turns out they did.
A couple of other sites reported on this today but thanks to Oz-Rita we have translated and subtitled the 2008 video muslims made threatening the club which is Jewish owned and they believe, holds fund raisers for the IDF and Israeli border security.
Here are reports from Gateway Pundit, and times of Israel link within the Gateway Pundit one.
Thank you Oz-Rita for the translation and the find. Also Oz-Rita has an article to the BDS connection to the attack here.

Special thanks to Oz-Rita who is translating bits of news from France on the fly for us.
The best up to the minute coverage I hear, is from FOX TV. If you have a TV and get FOX, turn that on now.
[Editor: My guess is that the French will respond with the usual anachronistic thinking and treat this as a geopolitical matter and look for a longitude and latitude to attack as retaliation when this is a function of a population forced to mix with another population with fanatically different values]
[6:19 EDT Jewish people in France better batten the hatches. If true to form, these muslims will hit Jewish targets as well as they did with Charlie Hebdo and in Copenhagen. Both attacks went after Jewish targets shortly after the free speech/local attacks]
Meanwhile, start with FOX
Police officials in France say there has been an explosion in a bar near a Paris stadium and a shootout in a Paris restaurant.
BFM television says there were several dead in the restaurant shooting in the 10th arrondissement of the capital. Two police officials confirmed the shooting but had no information about casualties.
One of the police officials said there was a separate explosion near the Stade de France north of Paris. It was unclear if the events were linked.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to be publicly named.

A detonation took place at an apartment block in southern Stockholm the night to Monday the 14th of September.
An original translation by Liberty Dk.
From Swedish News
The target may have been the premises of a Kurdish association.
We are looking at it, says John Larsson, KC-command at the Stockholm police.
Police classifies the bombing as a “special event”.
The alarm call to the police about a detonation in Fittja, in southern Stockholm, was received at 01:44 in the night.
According to the newspaper “Aftonbladet” the explosion was said to have occurred at a Kurdish community centre in the basement of an apartment block. This was confirmed by police earlier this morning.
It is difficult to say at present time whether the fact that it was a Kurdish association has any relevance to the explosion. There is a business located there as well, says Lars Bystrom, spokesperson at the Stockholm police.
We are now looking into the reason for the explosion.
The police have classified the incident as a special event which means that extra resources can be allocated.
It is not unusual that we do this for felony cases. This allows us to use resources from other parts of the country. For example, we can radio in police vehicles from other areas says Lars Bystrom.
No-one was injured.
No people were injured in the explosion, but several windows had been smashed.
When the patrol arrived there was smoke and a smell of burning, but there was no fire. A number of windows of the property were broken at basement level plus the apartment above, said John Larsson, KC-command at the Stockholm police.
It is unclear whether the incidence is connected to the troubled demonstration where groups of Turks and Kurds clashed at Sergels Square in Stockholm.
Throughout the day we will try to ascertain whether or not there is any connection, says Lars Bystrom.
Bomb Technicians were in place
Bomb technicians were working the sealed-off site during the night and well into the morning.
The work at the site is now completed. It remains to be seen if there are clues which can help the investigation forward, says Lars Bystrom.
The event is classified as “destruction endangering the public”.

‘Terror’ Trucker – Suspected Extremist Lands Commercial License – School Bus Driver? – Fox & Friends
Minnesota terror suspect gets a Class A trucking license
ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) – A Minnesota man, who Homeland Security identifies as a terror suspect who is on the “No Fly” list, now has his Class A commercial license, which will allow him to drive semi-trucks.
The FOX 9 Investigators revealed last May that Amir Meshal was attempting to get his Class A license from a Twin Cities truck driving school. The $4,000 tuition was paid for through the state workforce program.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety confirms he was granted the license after passing a road test on August 8. A spokesperson said Meshal has also applied for a school bus endorsement, pending the outcome of a criminal background check.
In May 2014, Meshal was removed and trespassed from a Bloomington, Minn. mosque, Al Farooq, after he was suspected of radicalizing young people who would later travel to Syria. According to the police report, religious leaders said, “We have concerns about Meshal interacting with our youth.” Meshal had previously been asked to leave an Eden Prairie, Minn. mosque for similar reasons.

Get Ready: Spain Warns 800 Islamists ‘Ready to Strike’ Across Europe
From Breitbart.com
There are around 800 Islamist extremists across Europe who have returned from Iraq and Syria and are ready to strike at any moment, Spanish counter-terror sources have warned.
Speaking after Moroccan gunman Ayoub El Khazzani was overpowered on a train from Amsterdam to Paris, the officers said that hundreds of other people similar to Khazzani are also ready to launch attacks.
Speaking to radio station Cadena Ser, the sources said that they did not believe Khazzani’s explanation that he was just trying to carry out a robbery, claiming there is evidence he had recently returned from Syria where he had been taught how to use firearms.
They added that around 800 others across Europe had recently returned from the warzone and were “awaiting instructions” to carry out a terror attack.

2. U.S. consulate in Turkey targeted as wave of attacks kills nine
By Yesim Dikmen and Seyhmus Cakan
ISTANBUL/DIYABAKIR (Reuters) – Two women shot at the U.S. consulate in Istanbul on Monday and at least eight people were killed in a wave of separate attacks on Turkish security forces, weeks after Ankara launched a crackdown on Islamic State, Kurdish and far-left militants.
The NATO member has been in a heightened state of alert since starting its “synchronized war on terror” last month, including air strikes against Islamic State fighters in Syria and Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants in northern Iraq. It has also rounded up hundreds of suspected militants at home.
A far-left group that killed a Turkish security guard in a 2013 suicide bombing of the U.S. embassy in Ankara claimed it was involved in Monday’s attack.
The Revolutionary People’s Liberation Army-Front (DHKP-C), considered a terrorist organization by the United States and Turkey, said one of its members was involved in the attack, and called Washington the “arch enemy” of the people of the Middle East and the world.
