France: A man shouting “Allah akbar” threatens the guests of a bar with death and glorifies Al-Qaeda

A 39-year-old man of no fixed abode was arrested by police forces in Nancy on the night of the 27th to 28th February 2024. According to a police source, he had made threatening remarks in the L’Ambassy bar in Rue Stanislas (…).

Inside the bar, the person made friends with the customers and managed to get paid for his drinks. When he went to leave the bar, he shouted “Allah akbar” and claimed he was going to get a machine gun. When he returned to the bar without a weapon, he managed to get drinks bought for him again. Before he left the bar for good, he shouted “Al-Qaida, they’re the greatest!”.

Outside, the man attacked some young men and threatened to burn their motorbikes. He also hit cars parked in the neighbourhood several times with his fists. (…)

As there were no terrorist threats, the man will probably be prosecuted for making death threats.
