Source: LeFigaro

The assailant had converted to Islam 18 months ago, said Le Figaro a police source. His wife, in custody in the late afternoon, would also be Muslim, depending on the neighborhood.

For now, we do not know if there is a link between this conversion and its passage to the act.

Energy-efficient washing machines can be a RESERVOIR for MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT PATHOGENS

This is about a German hospital but IMO could be relevant to those who share washing machines in apartments buildings or laundromats.

Two years ago my building put in energy efficient machines and a tenant who discovered massive amounts of mold in different parts of the machine such as inside below the drawer where detergent is added. Both of us found all sorts of disgusting crud inside the rubber seal where water did not drain. These were not problems with the old top loading machines

Both of us took photos and the company cleaned out the machines, and advised tenants to leave the doors open but tenants still shut them when not in use. I personally no longer use them.

Energy-efficient washing machine in a German hospital acted as a 'reservoir for multidrug-resistant pathogens' and passed on 'pneumonia-like bacteria' to several babies in intensive care

The washing machine in question was used to wash babies' socks and tiny hats and researchers found that it was fostering bacteria in trapped water

Low temperature washes are not hot enough to kill all microorganisms

None of the babies became infected but their clothes were contaminated

Experts call for eco-friendly machines to be redesigned to make them safer
