First in the courtyard of the consulate, then under the Consul’s car. Here are the places where several firecrackers exploded targeting the Algerian consulate in Metz last week. A 39-year-old Algerian showed up on site throughout the week, first for papers, then for increasingly unclear reasons. The man then decided to take action this Thursday, February 3, by throwing a firecracker over the gate of the establishment, exploding in the courtyard. Then the next day, placing firecrackers under the Consul’s carwithout anyone inside.
Placed in a psychiatric hospital
The suspect was quickly arrested and taken into custody. To finally be hospitalized at Jury for psychiatric care. He will be listened to by the investigators if his condition manages to stabilize.
