A radicalised Muslim known to intelligence agencies has been shot dead at Paris Orly airport after seizing an air force patrolwoman’s gun — just hours after he shot a police officer in the face in a northern suburb.
Authorities identified the man as Ziyed Ben Belgacem, a 39-year-old French national of north African origin born in Paris.
The Paris prosecutor, François Molins, said that during the confrontation at the airport, Belgacem shouted at the patrolmen: “I’m there to die by Allah. In any case there will be deaths.”
He was carrying a Koran, a container of petrol and matches in a backpack, which he threw to the ground before attacking the patrolwoman and holding a pellet gun to her temple.

Les analyses toxicologiques pratiquées sur le corps de Ziyed Ben Belgacem, l'homme qui a attaqué des militaires dans le terminal sud de l'aéroport d'Orly samedi 18 mars, montrent qu'il était sous l'emprise de stupéfiants et d'alcool, selon les informations de France 2. Il avait 0,93 g d'alcool par litre de sang, et des traces de cocaïne et de cannabis ont été retrouvées. Plus tôt dans la journée de ce dimanche 19 mars, les gardes à vue de son frère et de son cousin avaient été levées.He'd been drinking alcohol? Naughty Muslim, he won't get his 72 virgins in paradise now.
