Nordine Amrani had an extensive rap sheet, and spent a substantial part of his adult life in prison. His latest conviction came in September, 2008. when he was sentenced to 58 months for conspiracy, drugs, and weapons violations. Amrani, a welder by trade, was caught with 9,500 gun parts and a dozen AKs, along with a rocket launcher. By some news accounts, the parts were evidently autosears to convert AK style semi-automatics to full auto. Amrani also had 2,800 cannabis plants in his possession. In addition to marijuana plants, weapons, and gun parts, he was also convicted on what are described as healing and sexual offenses.

A Belgian of Moroccan descent whose troubled history showed no sign of Islamic extremism, Amrani had been summoned to appear before the police about a case of sexual abuse at around the same time as the attack. Instead, he armed himself and mounted a desperate, final lashing out.
Good thing dope makes people mellow, can you imagine what he'd have done if he was a juicer?

Golly, you'd think a responsible/thorough reporter would say if the rockets were present or not.

But...MSM said he was a "gun man." I guess "rocket man" or "LAWS man" -- could be confusing. nt
