Terrorist attack in Lyon, France – man beheaded by IS militants


In a terrorist attack in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, Lyon, a man has been decapitated and several others injured at a chemicals factory in France. The attack has been labeled as a terrorist attack by President Francois Hollande. The dead man had Arabic inscriptions on him and there was an Islamist flag found near the site.
This has been reported on bbc.com dated 26 June 2015.
It seems there were a number of explosions before two men drove into the Air Products gas factory near Lyon and crashed into it in a car. The Air Products is a US-based firm. One of the suspects, a 30-year-old who was known to police, has been arrested.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has ordered that security be stepped up at sensitive sites around Lyon. The attack has come nearly six months after Islamist attacks in and around Paris that had killed 17 people.
