It’s gonna be a long summer of terrorism all over the world! We’ve been warned by the Jihadists and now it’s almost every day that we hear of terrorists on the move. This time a terrorist wasn’t armed with a gun but a hammer and a knife….

The 22-year-old, said to be armed with a hammer and knife, was arrested in the city of Carcasonne and is suspected of planning terrorist attacks on American and Russian tourists, officials said.

He was reportedly planning to attack tourists first before targeting police.

Millions of holidaymakers, including a large number of Britons, have descended on France for the month-long football tournament.
