If he was "flagged," what the Hell was he even doing outside of a maximum-security prison?
Paris attack: Champs-Elysees driver had explosives and rifle, was flagged for extremism
Published June 19, 2017
Fox News
A suspect who tried to attack security forces on the Champs-Elysees shopping district in Paris Monday afternoon -- when he rammed his car into a police van -- had a rifle and explosives in his vehicle, French investigators said.
The attacker died shortly after the incident, the French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said. The attacker, a 31-year-old man from the Paris suburb of Argenteuil, was badly burned after his car exploded when he deliberately crashed it into a police van. The police van caught fire, but it was quickly contained, officials said. The bomb squad was called to the scene.
Authorities discovered a gas tank and an AK-47 rife in the attacker's car, Fox News confirmed. The man had been flagged by investigators earlier for extremism, French police said.

France's anti-terrorism prosecutor has opened an investigation into the incident.
Again--if they knew about him, why wasn't he in a Supermax-equivalent prison over there? Devil's Island has been closed for a few years, IIRC.

So many of the people committing attacks like this have been known to authorities for awhile but political correctness prevents them from being dealt with the way they should be. :hammer:
