Anders Behring Breivik

French Foreign Legion Dept: As prototypical lone-wolf gunman, the 23-year-old loser has far more in common with Anders Behring Breivik perpetrator of last July s killing spree in Norway than scary jihadists and homegrown Islamist acolytes, though global terrorist networks have been quick to claim him as one of their own, martyr to a cause of ever diminishing returns, according to The Star. What was left for a self-aggrandizing deadbeat than the slaughter of defenceless innocents one youngster he chased down and shot in the head and the assurance of post-mortem notoriety? The whole world knows his name now, in the wake of an eight-day spurt of methodical savagery. He has been transformed into a cause cel bre, wrongfully promoted as poster-boy for the alienation of young Muslim males in France, wayward conscript for radical Islam from the immigrant mean streets of a tough Toulouse suburb and nICE, FRANCE Sift out the wannabe Al Qaeda burnishing on his reported resume and Mohammed Merah is no more nor less than a chronic delinquent matriculated to murder. The drive-by scooter shooter who point-blank murdered three French paratroopers before, following a pause to refresh, turning his sights on Jewish children, was himself a failed applicant to the French Foreign Legion, arguably the last remaining repository of adventuring military intervention. The Legion takes just about every sad sack, misfit and felon who expresses an interest. Yet even they apparently looked askance at this prospective recruit as beyond rehabilitation for professional soldiering. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
