Four young women who attend Boston college in America were victims of an acid attack in the Gare de Marseille-Saint-Charles train station in France.
The four American women were hospitalized following the acid attack that happened on Sunday, September 17th. Their injuries are not life threatening and officials say that this does not seem to be a terror attack which has sadly become the norm in France.
Fox|The Boston College students, identified by a student newspaper as Courtney Siverling, Charlotte Kaufman, Michelle Krug and Kelsey Kosten, were hospitalized after the attack. The women, two of which were treated for shock, have since been released.
“It appears that the students are fine, considering the circumstances, though they may require additional treatment for burns,” Nick Gozik, director of the college’s Office of International Programs, told the newspaper. “We have been in contact with the students and their parents and remain in touch with French officials and the US Embassy regarding the incident.”
Three of the women — Kaufman, Krug and Siverling — are reportedly enrolled in the school’s “BC in Paris” program, while Kosten is a student at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark.
A 41-year-old woman, who reportedly had a history of mental health problems, was arrested in the incident, regional newspaper La Provence reported. The prosecutor said she didn’t make any extremist declarations during the attack. French officials confirmed to Fox News the incident was not terror-related.
A woman? That’s all the info they have? Who was she? Where was she from? Was she a local citizen or a refugee? A woman? Tell the truth, an acid attack seems like a tactic used by radical islamic terrorists. “Not terror related.” Yeah. Okay. Nothing terror inducing about being blinded or permanently disfigured by having acid tossed onto your face.
Come on now! If you have noticed, the two arrests made in London with regard to the tube bombing were only described as “males,” now this. The media is all so eager to share that the victims were American, but not one syllable of the identity of those who were arrested.
