French suspect was allegedly involved in anti-Semitic attack in 2012
The French Islamist arrested on suspicion of having decapitated his boss at a gas factory in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, southeast of Lyon, earlier today, was allegedly involved in an anti-Semitic attack in 2012.
The man was identified as Yassine Salhi, 35, a father of three, born to an Algerian father and a Moroccan mother.
Four years ago, Salhi and another man were reported to have hit a Jewish teenager and to have hurled anti-Semitic abuse at him while travelling on a train from Toulouse to Lyon, according to a report on JTA.
