The horrible assassination in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, in Yvelines, of course recalls the attack committed on June 26, 2015, in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, in Isère.
It was the first beheading perpetrated on French soil by an Islamist.
Practice used by Daesh in Iraq and Syria.
That day, around 8 a.m., Yassin Salhi went to his place of work, a delivery company for which he had been a delivery driver for three months.
Equipped with a knife and claiming a fallacious motive - a dispute with his boss - he makes his employer get into his van.
He knocks him out with a jack then decapitates him.
It starts up and enters the site of Air Products, an industrial and medical gas production plant, where it makes regular deliveries.
Yassin Salhi is known to the employees of the company.
They are about fifty on site at this moment but do not pay attention to the arrival of the van.
