CNN finally gets around to calling the Muslim suspect from the Brussels Jewish Museum shootings, now in custody, a “radicalized Islamist”

However, in the video below, they identify the gunman Mehdi Nemmouche as a “Frenchman.” Apologies to all the real Frenchmen reading this.

CNN  Police have arrested a suspect in Marseille, France, in connection with the shooting deaths of 4 Jewish people May 24 at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, Belgium, Belgian federal magistrate Wenke Roggen said Sunday. The suspect is identified as Mehdi Nemmouche, a 29-year-old Frenchman from Roubaix in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France. Nemmouche recently spent a year in Syria and is a radicalized Islamist, the chief prosecutor of Paris said at a news conference Sunday.
Francois Molins said Nemmouche, who has a criminal history that included a five-year prison stint, was detained at the St. Charles Train Station on Friday after returning to France by bus from Brussels by way of Amsterdam. Molins said customs police detained Nemmouche after discovering a Kalashnikov assault rifle in his luggage and a revolver in a black bag he was carrying.

Nemmouche, who has remained silent during his detention, was influenced by Islamist teachings while in prison and left for Syria three months after being released in September 2012, Molins said.
In the black bag Nemmouche was carrying when he was detained, along with a .38 special, police discovered 57 rounds of ammunition for the revolver, more than 270 cartridges for the Kalashnikov, gun parts, a portable GoPro camera, a digital Nikon camera, a black hood and gloves, a Nike cap, a gas mask, and a blue nylon jacket, all objects matching the description of the Brussels shooter.
