French Man Who Planned Terror Attacks Had 'vast Arsenal' of Explosives

[kellyhound]

Ukrainian authorities caught a French man on the Ukrainian/Polish border with assault rifles, rocket launchers, and they believe he planned to carry out a terror attack on the Euro 2016 soccer championship.

Grégoire Moutaux, 25, a suspected far-Right nationalist was arrested over the weekend.

Police seized more than 5,000 bullets, two anti-tank grenade launchers, 125 kg of TNT, 100 detonators, 20 balaclavas and other things.

“His intended targets allegedly included Jewish and Muslim places of worship and buildings involved with the soccer tournament,” SBU (the Ukrainian state security organization) chief Vasily Gritsak said.

“French government administration buildings, including those dealing with tax collection, were also a target.”

He had planned to mine roads and bridges in several regions of France.

The Frenchman spoke negatively about his government's actions, mass immigration, the spread of Islam and globalisation,

Gritsak said the man had tried to buy arms from groups in the Ukraine, and it seems the SBU was able to arrange a sting in which they sold the suspect deactivated weapons and caught him with his current arsenal.

Soon after Moutaux's arrest in Ukraine, a raid was carried out at his home in France. There officers found neo-Nazi T-shirts, as well as chemicals used to produce explosives and five balaclavas. He had no criminal record.

Locals in Nant-le-Petit, which has a population of just 80 people, described Moutaux as a “polite and pleasant lad”.

look the ak74's, two rpg's and a lot of explosives, they want to made some great action
Next it would be wiser to wait for the customers and not arrest the guy immediatly, that better help to explore the black market

Uh.... I don't think he was trying to sell them, dude.

Good, one less terrorist out there.

So he was pissed off with his own governments perceived failings so he planned to slaughter innocent people? Yes that's a well thought out plan. What's the difference between him and ISIS? None.

I feel for the guy. I would probably start heavily arming myself as well.

so he bought 20 balaclavas and had 5 at home - since i dont think he has 25 heads i guess he was NOT working alone. all the guns and ammunition, how would a single guy use that all?

they probably get guns elsewhere and still attack. sadly i am pretty much sure there will be at least 1 terror attack while the euro FOOTBALL ( ) championship is on

better dig deeper ...
