Three Kalashnikovs found in getaway car, reports say

Source: The Guardian

Le Figaro has more detail on the getaway car that was found in the east Parisian suburb of Montreuil.

The French newspaper reports that three Kalashnikovs were found in the abandoned black Seat, which investigators have linked to the Paris attacks.

The Paris prosectuor last night indicated that the terrorists who attacked a number of bars and cafes in the 10th and 11th arrondissements were carrying Kalashnikovs 7.62.

The discovery will add to fears that some of the attackers or their accomplices are still on the run.

(with The Guardian's live update stories, if you right click on the timestamp on the left of paragraphs, you can copy the link address that leads straight to those paragraphs. May be harder to do on a phone, though)

No need for getaway car for dead men.

What an odd and interesting fact - I too now believe there must be other accomplices out there.

I wondered about this. That attack failed because he wasn't let in to the stadium. He blew himself up outside. If he had a rifle, he could've shot his way past security. I wonder if these rifles were meant for others and just didn't get to them?

and my question, too, was why have a getaway car if you're going to blow yourself up?
