Patrick Balkany, the mayor of Levallois-Perret, told BFMTV that a BMW parked nearby appeared to have been waiting for the soldiers to leave their barracks. He described the attack as a “deliberate aggression”. “It’s without doubt a deliberate act … This vehicle was waiting for them,” Balkany said. “The BMW accelerated very quickly the moment they came out. This happened in the middle of the town. It happened very quickly.” “Levallois is a calm place … this is an odious aggression against our military that nobody expected.”

As we say in the UK , actions have consequences.
The US internationalist policy of recent years and doctrine of regime chance are the source of the problems we face today.
Like your corrupt politicians didn't support it?

While I agree open borders isn't a great idea and am glad we in the UK are not part of that agreement I don't believe you can blame the many for the actions of the few , we are obligated to help those who's homes / countries we have helped destroy.
We are at war with radical Islam , they don't have the technology we posses so these kind of low tech attacks are to be expected , that's not excusing them but we must acknowledge they will happen in the course of this war.

Everything that is happening today is the fault of politicians, and not the people who live in the West. Two of the three things the world would be a better place without, politicians and Islam. The third being lawyers.

Not a single word about the drivers appearance, however SOME members are already on the fringe against Islam. Again. Or continually, whatever.
Guys, if you think about that, aren't you at least a little bit ashamed about your prejudice? Because it is cringeworthy, it really is.
-- For example: 2013, there was an arson attack on barracks in Germany. The suspects? Anti-war-activists.
London and France have both been hit by vehicle-ramming terror attacks in the past 18 months.
France were sickened by a third massacre in 18 months when a truck driver mowed down night-time revellers celebrating Bastille Day on the seafront in Nice.
In March, four people were killed after 52-year-old Khalid Masood drove his car into people walking along the pavement on London's Westminster Bridge.
The city was again hit by terror on London Bridge, when ISIS terrorists killed several people after it drove a lorry into pedestrians before going on a knife rampage in Borough Market.
It comes after an 18-year-old with a history of psychological problems was arrested on Saturday at the Eiffel Tower after brandishing a knife and shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest).
