“Soldier in France’s anti-terrorism force stabbed in Paris ahead of Olympics opening ceremony next week,” by Saskya Vandoorne, CNN, July 15, 2024:
A French soldier deployed in the country’s anti-terrorism force was stabbed at a train station in central Paris on Monday evening, French government officials said, a little more than a week before the Paris 2024 Olympics’ opening ceremony is due to take place.
“A soldier with Operation Sentinelle was stabbed while on patrol at Gare de l’Est in Paris. He is not in serious condition. The perpetrator was arrested,” French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said in a post on X.

With the number of terrorist acts that have happened, not just in France, but in countries throughout Europe, in the past decade or so that deportations would have put a dent in the problem… Leadership keeps letting more in. People have to smarten up and vote right…
