3 Muslims Stage Terror Attack on France Train, Commandeer Train’s Intercom, Play Muslim Call to Prayer
Three Muslims in France have been jailed for staging a terror threat on a train in order to rob passengers — only five days after the Paris attacks. They commandeered the train and began playing the Muslim call to prayer on the intercom system — five days after the Paris slaughter.
Imagine, this cruel terror hoax by three Muslims on a train took place a little over a month after a jihadi attempted to behead passengers on a French train. Had it not been for the quick, brave actions of three Americans (Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler) on that train, who knows how many would have been murdered. And this terror scare took place fresh on the bloody heels of the Paris jihad massacre. This train attack reflects a base lack of humanity. Savages. Truly.
The group was travelling between Beziers and Perpignan in the southern Pyrenees region when they commandeered the train’s intercom system.
They then played a Muslim call to prayer and told passengers to hand over their phones or face an attack.
“Three jailed over France ‘train attack bluff'” BBC, December 9, 2015
Three men in France have been jailed for faking a terror threat on a train to steal passengers’ phones – only five days after the Paris attacks.
The group was travelling between Beziers and Perpignan in the southern Pyrenees region when they commandeered the train’s intercom system.
They then played a Muslim call to prayer and told passengers to hand over their phones or face an attack.
They were found guilty of extortion and sentenced to up to 30 months in prison.
One of their lawyers said it was “a joke in very bad taste by foolish youths”.
None of those sentenced, aged between 19 and 23 and from Beziers, was named by the court in Perpignan.
“It wasn’t serious,” the main defendant told the court. “We were just joking around. I have always condemned Islamic State and everything that happened in Paris.”
One of the men, who is 21 years old and had converted to Islam, was also found guilty of supporting terrorism after police found pictures of him posing with an assault rifle and a jihadist banner on his phone.
