Raphaël Balland, prosecutor of Gap, said: "I wanted to quash the rumour currently doing the rounds because on no account did this man make such comments about the fact that the attack may have been motivated by the victims' dress code."

359 people have been murdered in Chicago in the calendar year 2016.  But one or two of them might have had some religious motivation so perhaps that doesn't belong here?
