“It was truly a murder attempt. There was blood everywhere. The family-visiting unit was a battle scene.”
Before too long, all of France will be a battle scene.
“Islamist inmate screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ stabs two guards in ‘terror incident’ during wife’s conjugal visit to French prison where he is serving 28 years for killing Jewish Holocaust survivor,” by Ross Ibbetson and Peter Allen, Mailonline, March 5, 2019:
A radicalised Islamist inmate screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ stabbed two guards in a ‘terror incident’ during a conjugal visit by his wife at a French prison.
Michael Chiolo, 27, slashed one across the face and back and gave the other a serious chest wound causing blood to be sprayed across the family unit at the complex in Conde-sur-Sarthe in Normandy.
He has retreated into a room used for private visits with his wife who is said to have smuggled in a ceramic knife used in the assault.
Chiolo was dubbed a ‘psychopath’ by a French judge for his part in the kidnap, torture and death of an 89-year-old Holocaust survivor in 2012.
Chiolo claims he has an explosives belt and reportedly declared allegiance to ISIS.
The Islamist and his wife are reportedly telling police they wish to die as martyrs, Ouest France reported.
An army helicopter was scrambled to the scene and sniffer dogs have been deployed over fears of explosives.
Local media are reporting that a raid on the room where he has sequestered himself could be imminent.
Prison staff representative Alassanne Sall confirmed he was believed to be ‘radicalised’ and had shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is great) during the assault.
‘It was truly a murder attempt. There was blood everywhere. The family-visiting unit was a battle scene,’ said Sall, from the Force Ouvriere trade union.
French Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet said the inmate’s wife ‘feigned illness’ at around 9.45am, leading to two prison officers arriving in a room in the family unit, which is designed to give couples privacy during visiting hours.
It is then that the inmate slashed out with his knife, wounding one man in the chest, and the other in the back and face. Both have since been treated, and neither is in a life-threatening condition.
The wife is thought to have smuggled a ceramic knife into the prison, and there were also fears that explosives may also have been made available to her husband….
Frank Anderson says
Any bets he gets “double secret probation” for his attempted murder of 2 police (corrections) officers? Just think about his rehabilitation after spending whatever part of 28 years. How much time will the “wife” get for her active participation of the attempted murder of the guards? There is no cure for just plain stupid.
BC says
Just through a tear gas canister in there and a flash grenade. Oh of course that is not permitted as his wife is an ‘innocent’ bystander
BC says
Sorry should be throw
J D.S says
France can’t even keep family members from getting weapons to prisoners…..Vonjugsl visit????Now how stupid is that Too late for France to wake up…just give up…
Frank Anderson says
With all the decades of time I have spent in classrooms, I tend to think in mathematical terms when analyzing possible decisions. Islam gives most infidels (insult/degrading “kafirs”) the choices of “convert, submit or die”. I see 2 others, resist or escape. With the absurd and outrageous environment of many countries controlled by muslims and their open collaborators, individual acts of resistance appear to me to be utterly futile and self-destructive. As an illustrative example I suggest the acts of resistance before and during WWII in Nazi controlled countries did far more harm to unintended victims than to the Nazi regime and plan. Look at what followed from the assassinations and sabotage, and especially after the unlawful combat in Oradur (sp?) France. “if the kitchen gets too hot, open a window or get out.” Dedicated killers will not be deterred by pinpricks.

@Frank Anderson,
Thankfully French resistance existed http://www.iwm.org.uk/history/spies-saboteurs-and-d-day.

Frank Anderson says
To me, the intelligence activities they performed were far more “profitable” than any utterly illegal “out of uniform enemy combatant” sabotage. The only reason Nazi atrocities were punished after the war was that the Allies won. By arming and enabling guerillas, the Allies also enabled the atrocities that were the Nazi response. Reasonable people may differ. In Vietnam and Cambodia, millions were killed by the Communists after the US abandoned South Vietnam, without any consequence. Totalitarian regimes don’t need reasons for killing, but the excuses make them feel better.
yohanan says
It’s not clear whether the knife was smuggled in or part of prison’s conjugal benefits…
as google translated from franceinfo (link below)
>”The knife that was used for the attack – ceramic and therefore not spotted by the metal detector – “could have been brought by his wife,” said the Minister of Justice. But, according to Emmanuel Baudin, secretary general of Force Ouvrière (FO) penitentiary, this kind of knife “is provided by the penitentiary” in family living units (UVF). The companion also “assaulted colleagues with a knife provided by the establishment,” according to the unionist.

Frank Anderson says
The ceramic knives we have IN OUR Kitchen are quite good for slicing, particularly tomatoes. We have never tried them for anything other than kitchen use. They are quite sharp and hold an edge for years now. Of course, as a ceramic, they have not corroded. When ceramic knives first appeared they were extremely expensive, no doubt because of the novelty. Will be interesting to see if they were smuggled or if they were provided by the prison. Will we ever be told the truth about this? If so, something new!
keith Oades says
Why risk the lives of police and guards trying to get in to deal with this psycho. Lock the doors to the unit and walk away. They can become “martyrs” after a week or so with no water, food, power etc.
This will give them ample time to think about their actions.
And if they have explosives? will just make the process a bit quicker.
gravenimage says
Of course, we don’t treat anyone like this.
somehistory says
If they were going to allow that visit….so close the contact between the terrorist and his wife…then she should have been searched before allowing her inside with him.
This is basic to prison security. Don’t allow anyone in with anything. Search and seize. Now they can lock her up too. No more visits between the two.
gravenimage says
Note that this knife was ceramic. Ceramic knives are unusual, and this was clearly chosen to thwart metal detectors.
Frank Anderson says
GI, Harbor Freight has ceramic (zirconia) knives for about 10 dollars. There are probably stores in your area as there is in mine. We have 2 at home and they work very well.
Ecosse1314 says
Yup they are very common in Spain so probably the same in France.
Frank Anderson says
AND No license, registration, permit or insurance required. But just as deadly as any firearm, motor vehicle or bomb. Unarmed people are defenseless victims waiting for armed savages to attack when the police are not around or not looking. How many successful attacks have been made where the “victims” were armed? None? Because the attackers chose “gun-free zones.” Who are the fools?
gravenimage says
Frank, I know this (although I am not familiar with Harbor Freight). They sell them at Williams-Sonoma in my neck of the woods, and I’m sure many other places as well.
I just meant that they are much less common than metal knives almost everywhere, and this was likely purchased in this case because it would not show up in the metal detector.
somehistory says
gr
That is why they needed to actually “search” her. Under her scarf, etc. None of them should be trusted. How old is the thing about concealing a file in a cake taken into a prison? Smuggling in contraband is something all prison personnel need to watch, but esp when dealing with moslims.

Pregnant wife of French terrorist shot dead in prison as he’s arrested
The pregnant wife of a radicalised inmate who helped her husband stab two officers during a ‘conjugal visit’ to a French prison was shot dead by anti-terror police tonight.
[…]Despite being described by a judge as a ‘psychopath’ before being handed a 30-year-sentence in 2014 for murdering a Holocaust survivor, Chiolo had been granted regular family visits.
[…] the inmate’s wife ‘feigned illness’ at around 9.45am, leading to two prison officers arriving in a room in the family unit,
[…]The wife is thought to have smuggled a ceramic knife into the prison, and there were also fears that explosives may also have been made available to her husband.
[…]Chiolo’s wife was pregnant – meaning she is unlikely to have been searched as rigorously as other inmates when she went to visit him today.

Joe says
Allowing inmates to father welfare children brings this to a whole new level of stupidity.
Rarely says
Stupid woman. I suppose that when he recovers one of his other pregnant wives will be supplying his needs.
Rarely says
P.S. Sometimes “severely wounded” doesn’t cover the situation efficiently enough.
FYI says
An islamic jihadist family indeed.
“{The moslems}…the family that slays together ,stays together”
Rarely says
Ever wonder why they need multiple wives? Question answered.
abad says
“The Islamist and his wife are reportedly telling police they wish to die as martyrs, Ouest France reported.”
That is a sign of mental illness – wanting to die as a martyr.
This Moslem and his wife should be deported back to Syria.
gravenimage says
And you thought that conjugal visit was just for the purpose of breeding more Jihadists…
Anjuli Pandavar says
1. Not all “jihadi brides” come from ISIS.
2. “Jihadi brides” are not types of brides, but types of jihadis. These are bride jihadis. They are endowed with the attribute of being able to bring forth more jihadis.
3. This woman was a bride jihadi. Many of her ISIS sisters are now trying to infiltrate our societies just as she has infiltrated a prison.
4. Their marriage is to jihad, through marriage to the jihadi.
5. They want to breed “lion cubs” (children specifically created so they may die) for jihad.
6. Should their husband be killed, they’ll be right onto the next one, making more lion cubs for jihad.
7. In this particular case, the lion cub (or future mother of lion cubs) died before it could be born.
8. “Stupid” is not a description I’d use.
Dogman1947 says
Two counts of conspiracy to commit first degree murder and two counts of attempted first degree murder for her notwithstanding charges related to smuggling a weapon inside a prison. Neither should ever leave prison until they are dead.
Rosie Barnes says
But credit to the security services – no attempt to negotiate then “rehabilitate” them back into society. They shot them. The only way to handle these situations.
Dano says
Conjugal visit should be considered a reward. So he was rewarded for killing a Jew. He shows his appreciation by trying to kill 2 guards. There is only one way to deal with these kinds of people, and since they look forward to their deaths, that should be considered their reward.
End PC says
Murders a Holocaust survivor yet denying him conjugal visits would be too much punishment? Given the part played by the French in the Holocaust do the sucker-hearted French have any moral sense or shame at all?
Frank Anderson says
Having met and video recorded many (dozens?) of Holocaust survivors, no punishment is adequate. Just as many people found it convenient to collaborate with the Holocaust, particularly in France, one conclusion should be clear from WWII: NOT ENOUGH people were punished harshly enough to teach a lesson against treason and collaboration. Today collaboration with the destruction of values of freedom and liberty is both stylish and easy; and appears to be encouraged by evil, corrupt people in charge.
Don Ameche says
I agree with 125% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Johan Elzinga says
This news was probably banned here in the Netherlands. We are not supposed to receive news like this. The state tv channels receive 13 billion euro each year. Our population is only 18 million, go figure how much tax money is used to shut us up! The budget for state tv is higher than our defense budget. Every time I read news of jihadwatch it is a new surprise.
Frank Anderson says
J.E., please consider my suggestion to read the Declaration of Independence from 1776 and consider if it could apply to you today.
Johan Elzinga says
Thanks for your suggestion, Frank! I will read it!
Frank Anderson says
I think it was written to be long enough to explain why a government had lost its sense of duty to the governed, and short enough to be read and understood.
