It gets rather silly after a certain point. Tunisian descent, practicing Muslim, yelled ‘Allahu Akbar’, and said he wanted to kill soldiers. Obviously, no terror link there…

VALENCE, France (Reuters) – French investigators found jihadist propaganda material on Saturday in the computer of a man who drove his car into troops guarding a mosque in southern France on New Year’s Day but said it did not prove he had links with any terrorist groups.
“The inspection of his computer led to the discovery of jihadi propaganda images,” local prosecutor Alex Perrin told Reuters.
“These are downloadable images that are a few weeks old. Not the worst type of images, but rather bellicose slogans,” he said. “It shows he had an appreciation of that but it does not prove he had links with terrorist organizations.”
The 29-year old Frenchman of Tunisian descent rammed his car into a group of four soldiers in a car park outside a large mosque in a suburb of Valence on Friday afternoon, the prosecutor told reporters earlier on Saturday.
He said earlier there was no evidence of him belonging to any terrorist group and it seemed he had acted alone.
“He reportedly shouted ‘Allah is great’, which suggests some sort of religious element.”
“When he was apprehended, he mentioned the fact that he wanted to kill troops because troops killed people,” the prosecutor added. “He said he wanted to be killed by troops.”
