The quartet overpowered
25year-old Ayoub El-Khazzani, a Moroccan national and jihadist who has been
found to be linked to the murderous fundamentalists group, the Middle-east
based Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in a show of bravery that led one
of the three Americans on vacation in Europe wounded with non-life threatening
injury but had about seven hours surgery on his arm.

Spencer Stone got injured when
the group decided to take on the gunman. Stone was the first man to approach Ayoub
El-Khazzani, getting slashed several times during the courageous encounter with
the Morrocan jihadist with a box cutter. Ayoub El-Khazzani was carrying a Kalashnikov
rife.

At a high-powered event
in the French seat of power, Else Presidential Palace, the four men will be
honoured with French award for their bravery. The event is also expected to be
a platform for an encouragement of the slogan, if see something, say something
or do something.
French people are lining
the street leading to the presidential palace to catch a glimpse of the heroes
and to cheer them up for the bravery act of courage last Friday. Bravo. If you
see something, say something or do something. But be careful folks.
