A suspected Islamic extremist who launched an attack at a paris airport on Saturday was under the influence of drugs. Tests showed an alcohol level of 0.93 grammes per litre in his his blood, and the presence of cannabis and cocaine. The gunman 'Ziyed B' shouted "I am here to die for Allah - there will be deaths", before attempting to gun people down at Orly airport. He was initially stopped for speeding at a road check on Saturday morning, where he injured a policewomen after shooting her in the face with an air pistol, he then held a women at gun point, stealing her car and from then driving to the airport. Once in the airport terminal, the attacker assaulted a patrol of three counter-terrorism soldiers. The man was shot dead by patrol officers.
I choose this story as I heard about the whole story before seeing it online and didn't realise the man was on drugs, I think that if he wasn't on drugs he wouldn't of done launched attacks at the airport, how people use drugs should be on more of a concern to the government.
