“Allah Commanded Me to Make a Sacrifice,” Said The Driver Who Went on a Rampage In Macron's France

🚗 France car ramming: The Muslim claimed to be ‘obeying orders of Allah’

The driver who ploughed into pedestrians and cyclists on the French holiday island of Oléron said he was obeying the orders of Allah but is not considered to be a jihadist, the local public prosecutor has said.

Five people were injured, two critically, when the driver hit pedestrians and cyclists on Wednesday in a rampage lasting 35 minutes. A suspect, named as Jean G, was subsequently tasered and arrested. He shouted “Allahu akbar” as he was being detained.

The rampage is being treated as a criminal rather than a terrorist attack, Arnaud Laraize, the local public prosecutor, said on Thursday. “He was under the influence of cannabis … He is not considered to be a jihadist and has no link with terrorist groups,” Laraize said.

“He said he was obeying the orders of Allah who asked him to make sacrifices. He said he had first turned to Catholicism but had recently converted to Islam on his own, and with the help of social media. He said he had wanted to die by setting himself on fire but had not succeeded in causing his vehicle to explode. He said he had been hearing voices in his head for some time.”

Earlier on Thursday, Laurent Nuñez, the interior minister, told France-Info radio that the suspect had spoken of “self-radicalisation”.

He added: “Based on a number of factors that exist with this individual, and the fact that he actually shouted ‘Allahu akbar’, there are religious references in his case that are quite clear and quite explicit.

French media reported on Thursday that two of the five people injured have left hospital. Two others were still said to be in a critical condition: a 22-year-old woman hit by the car while out for a morning jog and a 69-year-old man who was cycling.
