Synagogue ‘terror’ attack suspect wears Palestinian flag around waist

I think we can rule out the EDL on this one this morning. From the Telegraph

An armed man with a Palestinian flag wrapped around his waist set fire to a synagogue in France in what Emmanuel Macron branded a “terrorist attack”.

CCTV footage showed the suspect leaving the Beth Yaacov synagogue in the seaside resort of La Grande-Motte just before an explosion on Saturday morning.

Flames can be seen licking the side of the building in the image, which shows the man wearing a keffiyeh with a gun stuffed under his belt.  He is carrying plastic bottles of clear liquid.

A policeman was injured in a blast outside the synagogue at 8.30am. Two cars, one of which contained at least one gas canister, were set on fire in the carpark.

France has the largest Jewish community in Western Europe and the biggest outside Israel and the US but hate crimes against Jews are on the rise.
