The man who rammed his car into a Paris police Van on the Champs Elysées on June 19 had a valid permit for the weapons he was carrying.
He also was on France’s terrorist watch list.
Adam Djaziri had two pistols, a rifle, and two full gas cans in his car when he rammed the police van. The gasoline did not explode.
Djaziri was pulled from the wreckage and died at the scene. He had burns to his body, possibly from trying to ignite the gasoline.
Djaziri died not far from where a French policeman was shot to death in a terrorist attack in April.
When police raided Djaziri’s house, they found several more weapons.
France’s Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, addressed the matter of a known terrorist having a gun permit.
