Train near Paris Was Sabotaged
July 19, 2013
GALLIAWATCH reports that the recent derailment of a train near Paris, which caused the death of six passengers, was the work of criminals who damaged the tracks. People were seen throwing rocks at the train after it derailed and attempting to loot the bodies. [A reader below says it has not yet been determined that the damage was deliberate.]

Robert Marchenoir writes from Paris:
GalliaWatch is wrong. Nobody has determined for the time being that the derailment at Brétigny-sur-Orge, near Paris, was deliberately provoked. This is only speculation.
GalliaWatch has obviously misunderstood the article it quotes from Le Point magazine, which does not say anything close to that.
Two issues are being confused here. The first one is about local “youths” pelting emergency responders with stones, attempting to rob them, and to rob the wounded and the dead. This was downplayed by the authorities. However, the police were incensed, and leaked the information. They had to use tear gas in order to clear the area from looters. This has rightly enraged the French public, and that is what the article in Le Point is about.
The second issue is whether the derailment was an accident or the result of sabotage. The enquiry quickly found out that a component of the track became loose and caused the accident. What is not known yet, and puzzles railway workers, is how this metal rod could possibly escape the four screws that held it in place.
Some people jump to conclusions, and speculate that since “youths” have been so brazen as to loot the dead, they must have deliberately unscrewed the metal rod in order to crash the train. The enquiry may find that this was, indeed, the case. However, there is no evidence of this for the time being.
The real information here is that many Frenchmen believe that such a scenario is likely. Frankly, the level of hate and lawlessness in Muslim suburbs is such, that many young people of immigrant origin would, indeed, love to do that. However, we’d better stick to known facts.
