More Cultural Enrichment In France

 This is from late last week: "Knifeman wounds three in savage blade attack at Gare de Lyon as police arrest Mali-born suspect who had Italian identity papers"--Daily Mail. The article relates:

    A 32-year-old man, who has not been named, carried out the knifing spree at the Gare de Lyon, in the east of the French capital, at 8am on Saturday.

    The attacker, who has now been arrested, set his backpack on fire and then set upon travellers at the mainline station with a knife and a hammer before he was tackled to the ground a rail officer. 

Authorities assured the public that the man was not a terrorist, just crazy.
