Police shot and wounded the attacker before his arrest.
The soldiers were injured when the vehicle rammed them outside their barracks in Levallois-Perret.
Two of the solders were seriously injured.
Now this…
The Islamic terrorist behind the attack is an illegal alien from Algeria.
Hamou Bachir
The Daily Mail reported:
This picture is believed to show the suspected terrorist shot and arrested in connection with this morning’s attack in Paris, which saw six soldiers injured when a BMW mowed down their patrol.
Hamou Bachir, 36, is under armed guard in hospital after he was ‘seriously wounded’ in a fierce gunfight close to the northern port town of Boulogne-sur-Mer after he was intercepted driving towards Calais.
Bachir, who was not known to the security services, was shot five times, with one officer also hit by a bullet, before being arrested, according to a security source.
The suspect – who also uses the name Benlatreche – is thought to be an illegal immigrant who was subject to a ‘foreigner infraction’ notice meaning he faced deportation to Algeria, which used to be French colony.
