Also didn't mention the terrorist attack yesterday in Paris, AGAIN.
A vehicle carrying two gas canisters, two handguns and one Kalashnikov collided with a police car near the Champs-Elysées in Paris around 3:40 p.m. local time today, and the incident is being investigated as an act of terror, the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed.
The 31-year-old driver of the white Renault Mégane set his car on fire before hitting a police vehicle, with the hopes of creating an explosive impact, said French officials.
Police did not fire a single shot at the scene, but officials confirmed that the driver, who had been flagged for Islamic extremism, was badly burned and died. No injuries were reported in the incident as the explosion was limited to the inside of the driver's vehicle, police said.
Police quickly declared the situation "under control" and a bomb squad responded to the scene after explosives and a gun were found inside the driver's vehicle.

DEVELOPING: Islamic Canadian man charged in Michigan airport stabbing attack; FBI investigating as act of terrorismA man walked up to a uniformed police officer at the Bishop International Airport in Flint, Mich., and stabbed him in the neck Wednesday morning with a large knife, according to an FBI affidavit filed in federal court.
A law enforcement officer who watched the stabbing and subdued the attacker said that the man — later identified by officials as Amor M. Ftouhi — yelled “Allahu akbar” before stabbing the officer, an FBI special agent said in the affidavit.
Ftouhi then yelled “Allah” several times after stabbing the police officer, the agent said, before saying something about killings in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. When Ftouhi was subdued by the law enforcement officer, he “asked the officer why he did not kill him,” the FBI agent stated.
Officials said Ftouhi is a 50-year-old Canadian who had entered the U.S. on June 16 in New York, then made his way to Flint.
Officials said the wounded officer is in stable condition and is expected to survive.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Wednesday evening that the stabbing was being investigated as an act of terrorism.
