A soldier and an elderly Muslim man were slightly injured when a man drove his car at troops protecting a mosque in Valence in southern France on Friday, officials said.

The driver was seriously wounded when the soldiers shot at him but his injuries are not life-threatening at this stage, the government said in a statement.

The driver was taken to hospital and his motives were not yet known. He had not yet been questioned.

The injured passerby was a 72-year-old worshipper who was hit in the calf by a stray bullet shot by the soldiers, Valence mayor Nicolas Daragon told the iTELE news channel. The soldier had slight injuries to his legs.

“The four soldiers were in front of the mosque, a moderate, quiet mosque, in between two prayer sessions, at a time when many worshippers arrived,” Daragon said. “A car drove at them.”

The driver tried twice to hit the soldiers and they shot at him on his second attempt, he said.

Among the ramming attacks in France, in December 2014 a man in Dijon was arrested after running over 11 pedestrians in five areas of the city in the space of half an hour. The man was reportedly shouting, “Allahu Akbar.”

Now this…
The man wanted to be a Muslim martyr.
The Local reported;

A 29-year-old man who tried to run down soldiers guarding a French mosque said he wanted to kill them and be killed himself “to appear like a martyr,” a prosecutor said on Saturday.

Investigators also found “jihadist propaganda images” on a computer at the man’s home, and the assailant reportedly said the words “Allah is great” during the attack, prosecutor Alex Perrin said.

The jihadist images that were discovered however “can be accessed by anyone using the Internet,” Perrin told AFP, refusing to give further details.
