Cultural diversity
Doctors and Engineers
That was quick for “slow on crime”French police.
Surprise surprise, there was a North-African involved. Robbing elderly people and blowing up ATM's didn't go fast enough?
Government invited guests 🤔
The usual suspects.
at least 2 suspect are still ??? at large ?
Crown Jewels stolen from somewhere in Africa was stolen?

Blame those suspects for WTC too 🤦♂️
