The war has just begun

Supporters of the death cult took to Twitter to claim credit for the incident.

Two separate crashes occurred this morning in two locations in the French city, with police arresting a man after the second, fatal, collision.

While police said the 35-year-old suspect had "psychological issues", ISIS supporters have taken to social media to celebrate this morning’s events.

One message hailed the crash as a “lion attack”, while another said “the war has just begun”.
