Arrests Made in Lyons Nail-Bomb Attack

American news media is hiding from you what you suspected.

From LeFigaro (translation mine):

In record time, the police have arrested an Algerian, 24 years old, former student in computer science. DNA traces lifted from brown [packaging] paper found at the scene of the explosion match the suspect. The motive of the suspected remains enigmatic.

Um, okay.

His parents and his brother have also been detained.

...

One question that must be answered is who inspired that which resembles a [terrorist] attack and from where came the TATP (triperoxide of triacetone), used in a small quantity. Difficult to make and very unstable, this explosive appeared in the attacks of November 13, 2015 in Paris and Saint-Denis.

That was the combined Bataclan attack as well as an attack at a stadium.

So the guy is Algerian, family members have been detained, and the rare explosive he used was also used in the Bataclan attacks. Oh, and the police are searching for the bomb's engineer.

Boy, that motive sure is enigmatic.
