Terrorist shoots himself in the leg.. "unprecedented" attack on church in France foiled

According to reports circulating globally today, France officials have arrested a terrorist in Paris after a would-be attacker accidentally potentially shot himself and called an ambulance.. Authorities say they found a cache of weapons and ammo and evidence pointing to his plans to attack at least one church in the nation--a nation already under a constant risk of terror attacks since the Charlie Hebdo massacre..

The man, 24 years and Algerian, was called a terror sympathizer.  There is no evidence released at this point showing a direct ISIS or other group involvement with his planned actions..

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls reiterated government warnings that the country was facing an "unprecedented terrorist threat"....

A threat less likely from people who clumsily injure themselves..

The AFP reports,

A source close to the investigation said Ghlam appeared to have carefully calculated how long it would take police to respond.

The suspect, who was admitted to a Paris hospital after his arrest, was known to intelligence services over comments on social networks expressing his desire to go and fight in Syria alongside jihadists.

His DNA was later found in the car of a young mother from northern France who was found shot dead in mysterious circumstances over the weekend near Paris.

Ghlam told paramedics he had received the bullet wound during a settling of scores, however investigators do not exclude that he may have injured himself.
