Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
Video evidence is leading French investigators to believe the attack on a French soldier this weekend was inspired by the Islamic extremist attack on a British soldier the previous week.
The assailant, who escaped into a crowded train station and is still at large, stabbed Cedric Cordiez in the back with a weapon described with a knife or box cutter. Video footage showed the attacker, believed to be of North African origin, praying at the site of the attack.
“[There are] elements that leads us to believe [the attack] could be an act of terrorism,” French interior minister Manuel Valls told reporters.
The soldier’s girlfriend told the Telegraph that he was very lucky to be alive.
“Two centimeters further,” she said, “it would have been his carotid [artery].”
French anti-terror forces are on high alert because of threats from al-Qaeda due to France’s intervention in Mali.
