Paris: Anti-terror police called in as car “explodes” after crashing into police van

Jun 19, 2017 11:31 am By Robert Spencer

“Right-wing extremists”? Maaaaaaaybe. But probably not.

“Paris: Car ‘explodes’ after crashing into police van on the Champs-Elysées,” The Local, June 19, 2017:

Police in Paris are advising the public to stay away from the Champs-Elysées on Monday afternoon after a vehicle reportedly exploded after crashing into a police van.

French police launched a major security operation on the famous Champs-Elysées avenue in the west of Paris on Monday afternoon and advised members of the public to avoid the area.

Police sources have told French media that a car collided with a van carrying gendarmes (French military police) before exploding into flames.

Police sources have told French media they believe the act was deliberate and anti-terrorist polcie [sic] have been called in to take charge of the investigation.

There were no casualties reported and witnesses said a man, believed to be the driver, was being held on the ground by police. Sources said he was armed….

    ? more violence by the adherents of the Religion of Piece (s) during the latest ramadama-bombathon?!

      Of course, leftists and Muslims will say – “This attack had nothing to do with Islam,” and liberal twits will agree with that Taqiyya (deception).

    AL WALAA WAL BARAA IS ISLAM’S TEACHING OF HATE – The Paris attack is KAFIROPHOBIA in action!

    “Battle, animosity, and hatred…directed from the Muslim to the infidel…is the foundation of our religion. And we consider this a justice and kindness to them.” -Osama bin Laden

    Koran 40:35 “They who dispute the signs (verses) of Allah without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers.” (Note: not just “hated”, but “greatly hated”.)
    Koran 48:29: “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are violent to the unbelievers, but compassionate to one another.”
    Koran 4: 101 “The kuffar are for you a clear enemy.”
    Koran 8:60 “Terrorize the enemy of Allah and your enemy”
    Koran 60:4 “We have rejected you, and there has arisen between us and you enmity and hatred, until you believe and worship Allaah alone.”

    -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/

    -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

    the report I read previously said the “attacker was likely killed.”

    Did he have a load of explosives or a ruptured fuel tank?

    • Phil Copson says

      Jun 19, 2017 at 1:24 pm

      In real life – as opposed to TV – fuel-tanks very rarely explode; after all, why would they ? If you take the spare fuel-can out of your car and fling it at the garage wall, would you expect it to explode ? (No)
      The most likely point to get a fire – as opposed to an explosion – is in the engine bay if fuel-lines are ruptured in the collision, but even if fuel gets onto a hot exhaust, it is as likely to vapourise as to burn. Altgough fuel is delivered at high-pressure to the injectors, this won’t lead to fuel being squirted around if the line is cut, because in a collision the impact-sensors will shut off the fuel-pumps as well as all the other things they do such as pre-tensioning the seat-belts, setting off the air-bags etc. If the car does burn, then eventually the tank will go up, but it won’t happen the instant the collision occurs.
      Long story short – if the attackers’ car exploded, my money is on a bomb.

      Apropos of absolutely nothing; what do you call a film about a spider who refuses to be intimidated by ISIS ? – “Iraq: no phobia…..”

        Don’t have any money to put on it, but bomb is what I think too. The “fuel tank” rupturing was just what I think others might claim…to say it wasn’t terror.

        I do recall some years in the past, one car maker did have tanks that split open and caused fires. Can’t recall the make or model.

      I think the canisters he was carrying Failed to explode. If they had it would have been BIG. The driver expected to die. Sucks to be him.

    Wondering if this was a failed attempt at a suicide car bomb intended to disrupt the procession? If they are going to start suicide car bombing in Europe we shall soon see extremely serious numbers of deaths and injuries.

    This is a reminder of those vicious and murderous Islamic terror attacks in the city of Paris , on November 13, 2015, is because of those jihad-minded Muslim males who are so extremely deluded and irrational because they really believed in the nonsensical , strange and far –fetched doctrine contained in the Koran, of sex-filled paradise with black eye- houris, virgins, in it for the male Muslim who dies as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam fighting in the jihad. As, this bizarre Islamic doctrine of a houris -filled place is found in the Koran in, for example, 4:54. 55:56. 78:31. So this odd and outlandish Koranic doctrine inspired many young Muslims males to commit many horrendous, ruthless, heartless and murderous actions of jihad violence. Those vicious jihadists’ massacres that occurred in Paris was most wicked and hideous. That extreme deadly evil caused by those jihadist/Muslims with their firm but blind unquestioning belief in the weird and false doctrine from the Koran of such a houris, filled paradise that had the outcome of mass murder and chaos in the city of Paris. This is a strong reminder of the wise statement written by the French philosopher, Voltaire, who wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”
