One person was found decapitated and two others injured Friday after at least one man drove a vehicle onto an industrial complex near the eastern city of Lyon and tried to blow up a gas factory.
"The intent was without doubt to cause an explosion. It was a terrorist attack," President Francois Hollande said at a news conference in Belgium. The attack targeted the "Air Products" factory in the town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, about 20 miles southeast of Lyon. The slain victim's head was found yards away from the body, with Arabic writing on or near it. There were also flags or banners bearing Arabic writing found at the scene. French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian declared the attack an "act of terrorism," and said the national Defense Council was to convene at the presidential Elysée Palace at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. Eastern). CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports the victim found dead at the Air Products factory was yet to be identified, but was not believed to be an employee of the factory, which was locked down along with other businesses in the area during the police investigation. Holland confirmed that one alleged attacker had been taken into custody, identified, and was being questioned by French police. Holland did not provide further information on the alleged accomplice, and it was not clear whether a potential suspect was still on the loose. A French prosecutor's office said antiterror police in Paris were taking over the investigation, citing possible charges of murder, attempted murder, and criminal association with a view to committing terrorist acts. Reports from regional paper Le Dauphiné said the man detained by police, believed to be in his 30s, was known to France's antiterrorist police (DGSI), but was not cooperating with authorities. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve traveled to the scene of the incident almost immediately and was expected to provide further information later Friday. There were multiple reports that French law enforcement and intelligence agencies had indications in the days and weeks leading up to Friday's attack that such an incident could be in the offing. Hollande was to cut short his visit to Brussels for a European Union summit and return to Paris later Friday. France has*remained on a high state of alertsince the terrorist*attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine*and a Jewish supermarket in Paris in January. The Hebdo ordeal culminated with two suspects cornered in a factory in the Paris ex-urbs, and both suspects, who were affiliated with al Qaeda's Yemen branch, being killed by police. Separately, a man claiming allegiance to ISIS,Amedy Coulibaly, was killed*in a police raid after taking hostages -- four of whom he killed -- at the Jewish market in eastern Paris. ISIS and al Qaeda followers and supporters online have issued repeated calls for further attacks on French soil in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack. A French Mulsim convert warned of fresh attacks against the west in an ISIS recruitment video released on June 8 by the group's branch in Raqqa, Syria. "Keep insulting the honor of our prophet, and send your warplanes to bombard us, then you should expect attacks in your countries every week," the French ISIS militant, identified as Abu Salman, said in the video. He warned Europeans to draw lessons from the January attacks in Paris. |

Another tragic example of workplace violence. France needs to enact sensible sword control legislation.

2 more attacks in Tunisia and Kuwait. Both ISIS. 27 tourists in Tunesia dead and 13 in a mosque in Kuwait.
Any affiliation with ISIS, you need to be made gone. |

That cannot be true, Obama said things like that don't happen in other advanced countries.
