people. The reported terrorists are French, not infiltrators from muslim countries, and second-generation French to boot.

"Coulibaly, a Frenchman of Senegalese descent from Juvisy in the Essonne area outside Paris...One of 10 children and the only boy, Coulibaly became a delinquent at 17, and a repeat offender for petty thefts and drugs crimes, moving onto an armed bank robbery in September 2002 in Orleans, in the Loiret, before radicalising.

Boumediene told police examiners that she had become radicalized by her lover...And as the Daily Mail reports: “The couple lived in nearby Bagneux, where they were known as devoutly religious couple, despite Coulibay’s regular run-ins with the law.” They had reportedly gone on a trip to Malaysia together, and then recently disappeared from the neighborhood only to re-emerge when their names were all over the news.
