Strangers on a train: GO riders unite to help Syrian family get to their destination
Some 50 people came together to 'do the right thing'

By Shanifa Nasser,Jul 23, 2016 12:49 PM

When Valerie Taylor spotted a family of newcomers looking lost in the hustle and bustle of rush hour at Toronto's main Union Station on Wednesday, she offered to help them find their train. What she didn't know was that some 50 people would do the same, on a day that would turn out to be one of her most memorable trips home ever.

Taylor, a psychiatrist at Toronto's Women's College Hospital, said she was heading home on Wednesday after what had been a hectic few days. The heat was blazing, she was tired and looking forward to getting home, when she spotted a family of seven with two baby strollers and several heavy bags.

They looked confused, she said, and a young woman was trying to help them.

Taylor went over to see if she could lend a hand.

"Are you new here?" she asked. Only one of the children, who said he was 11, could speak much English.

"Yes," he said. They had just arrived from Syria four months ago, he told her, and were looking to get to Ancaster, about 85 kilometres southwest of Toronto, to spend a few days with family there.

'People started trying to problem-solve'

Taylor was headed in the same direction and offered to take them to the right train. To their surprise, strangers began to take notice and to help carry the family's bags up the stairs and onto the train, some riders even making room to give the family a place to sit, Taylor said.

"The 11-year-old was a little bit suspicious, like, 'Okay, we've been in this country four months ... I don't know why everyone's trying to be so helpful,'" Taylor said.

But together he and Taylor entered the necessary details into the computer so that they could buy the tickets.

That's when a woman came running across the station and yelled, "Stop, stop! Don't pay for anything!"

"A chilling audio message recorded by Bastille Day killer Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel suggests a second atrocity was being planned for August, French prosecutors fear.

The sinister revelation concerning the man who murdered 84 people using a 19-tonne lorry in Nice a week ago came as five accomplices were charged with carrying out a range of terrorist crimes.

At 5pm on July 14th, the day of the Riviera bloodbath, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel recording the message saying: 'Chokri and his friends are ready for next month, they are currently with Walid.

The man who drove a truck into a crowd in Nice, France, killing 84 people, plotted his July 14 attack for months with "support and accomplices," Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Thursday.

Molins said authorities are investigating five suspects who are in custody on terror charges related to the attack that Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel carried out on Bastille Day, France's main national holiday.

One suspect allegedly sent Bouhlel a Facebook message saying, "Load the truck with tons of iron and cut the brakes. I'll look brother."

Bouhlel, 31, drove a 20-ton truck through hundreds who had gathered to watch the Bastille Day fireworks on the Mediterranean city's waterfront.

An analysis of cell phone and computer content -- including a photo of last year's Bastille Day fireworks event focused on the crowd -- showed Bouhlel had been planning the assault since at least 2015, Moins said.

The cell phone content also included information on the drug Captagon, an amphetamine pill that can cause a surge of energy and a euphoric high. Jihadist fighters sometimes use this drug.

"The investigation underway since the night of July 14 has progressed and not only confirmed the murderous premeditated nature of Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel's act but also established that he benefited from support and accomplices," Molins said at a news conference.

What is really strange/concerning about "connections" is if you think about it it was not complicated - rent a truck and push the gas --one would have to think that if something is up for August, and it is by this gang of folks that can come up with rent a truck and run over people with it --they have to be a pretty nasty bunch - if they are taking months to "work" on it - even worse --it is only a matter of time before this becomes infrstruture, or nuclear power plant thing moo

My first impression, when nothing was known about accomplices yet, was that this was also done to set an example.
There was at least one earlier attempt with a van in France, but that looked almost too clumsy and the perpetrator was deemed mentally unstable.
One wonders if indeed that was all there was to it.
This time they went for the big numbers.

IMHO Nice and the rest of the world were very fortunate that there were no armed jihadists in the back of that truck.

2 detained in Nice truck attack investigation

Two new suspects have been detained in the investigation into the Bastille Day attack in Nice that killed more than 80 people.

The Paris prosecutor's office said Tuesday that two men have been in custody since Monday in southern France. The prosecutor's office would not elaborate on what the men are suspected of.

The French government hit back on Monday at accusations by a policewoman that the interior ministry had pressured her to change a report into security at the Bastille Day massacre in Nice.

http://www.france24.com/en/20160725-french-government-hits-back-nice-security-allegations

Policewoman Sandra Bertin, who is in charge of Nice’s video surveillance network, said she was “harassed” by an interior ministry representative to report that national police had been deployed at two different points at the celebration, in addition to local police forces.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, however, immediately rejected the allegations, saying he would sue for defamation.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls backed Cazeneuve, describing the scandal as a “political polemic aimed at destabilising the government” on Monday, while President François Hollande said there was no room for “controversy and confrontation” and that an investigation would uncover the truth.

Guénolé agreed with Huyghe, pointing to Hollande’s already abysmal ratings. The president is the least popular leader in recent French history, with the latest polls putting his approval at between 17 and 19 percent.

“When you’re so low on potential voters, you don’t make it to the second round [of the presidential elections]. But now, there’s also an idea in the public that they can’t handle the terrorist threat,” he said.

“I was already saying that the [Socialist Party] was done before the attack in Nice. I wouldn’t bet on it [winning] now even if you paid me.”

An official at the Paris prosecutor's office says that a man has been detained and handed preliminary terrorism charges for posing in a photo with the Nice truck attacker.

Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre said the 36-year-old man was placed in custody Monday for "criminal terrorist association," after authorities found the photo of him with driver Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel in front of the truck used to carry out the attack.

VIOLENT ATTACKS DEAL NEW BLOW TO FRENCH TOURISM

Xinhua.net
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2016-08/01/c_135555562.htm

PARIS, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Recent violent attacks on civilians in France have dealt a new blow to the country's tourism that has yet to recover fully from the bloody assaults in Paris in January and November last year.

In the week following the July 14 attack in Nice, the country's second most visited city after Paris, arrivals by air slumped 8.8 percent compared with the same period in 2015, the AFP cited a statistical agent as saying.

DEATH TOLL FROM FRANCE TRUCK ATTACK RISES TO 85

A 56-year-old man who was critically injured in last month's truck attack during Bastille Day festivities in the French city of Nice has succumbed to his injuries, French officials say, raising the number of victims killed in the attack to 85.

Christian Estrosi, the president of the regional council and the former mayor of Nice, said Pierre Hattermann died of his injuries on Thursday. "All my thoughts are with his daughter, their family and relatives," he said.

Hattermann, who worked as a psychologist, had already lost his wife Françoise and their 12-year-old son Elouan in the attack. The couple's 14-year-old daughter Léane was also critically injured but is now working on her recovery, though she remains hospitalized.

Of course they didn't always pass the buck. 21 police officers for an event with thousands of people in a country at a severe terrorist threat level is totally unacceptable and inexcusable. They dropped the ball big time that truck should not have been anywhere near the area. I hope they understand now it isn't just Paris that's at risk.

Tragic. How is the poor daughter going to cope with such a terrible loss? I can't begin to imagine what she is going through. I hope she is receiving counselling and will have access to it long term.

May all the 85 victims Rest In Peace they and all those injured remain in my prayers.

I am so sorry for this lady what a terrible unimaginable loss she has suffered.

I read that the tourism in France is suffering flights to Nice are down 8.8% compared to last year. I actually thought it would be more than that. I'm very sorry that France, Germany, Brussels & Turkey are suffering economically due to all the attacks. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in these countries right now. In Scotland I'm on alert and take notice of my surroundings more. There is more security at music gigs your bag will always get searched now. There is numerous armed police in the train stations now. I was very concerned about SAS guys with machine guns going through the train carriages leaving from Edinburgh to Glasgow a few months back. I thought they might have intelligence some kind of attack on trains was imminent.
