Two attackers bearing Islamist flags rammed a car into a gas plant near Lyons, France, on Friday, killing at least one person and wounding others, French media reports. The dead man was found decapitated outside the entrance to the factory, a French security official tells The Associated Press. The car was either carrying explosives or caused an explosion by ramming into gas canisters.
One suspect has been arrested, according to a local TV station. The gas plant is operated by Air Products, a U.S. company, in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, in southeastern France. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve is heading to the scene.
