Surprise: French police arrest French jihadi suspect in Belgian museum murders

I'm sure you'll all be shocked to hear that French police have arrested a French jihadi and charged him with the murders of four people - including two Israelis - at the Jewish museum in Brussels, Belgium last Saturday (Hat Tip: Shy Guy).

According to the report, the suspect was arrested in Marseilles on Friday, carrying an AK-47 and a pistol of the same type used in the May 24 shooting which killed four people, including two Israelis.

The suspect, 29-year-old Mehdi Nemmouche from Roubaix in the north of France, was active with jihadists in Syria in 2013, according to a source close to the investigation.

He is being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder for the terror attack in Brussels, AFP quoted a judicial source as saying.

Something tells me he was looking to murder Jews - any Jews - and not alleged Mossad agents.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
