PARIS (AP) — A man described as an emotionally dis turbed neo-Nazi allegedly tried to assassinate French President Jacques Chirac on Sunday, pulling a rifle from a guitar case and firing off a shot before being wrestled to the ground during a Bastille Day parade. There were no reported injuries. It was not immediately clear how close the shot came to Chirac, who was passing about 130 to 160 feet away in an open- top jeep near Paris’ Arch of Triumph as he reviewed troops in a military parade to celebrate France’s national holiday. As the gunman pulled a fully loaded .22-caliber rifle out of a brown guitar case, the crowd along the tree-lined edge of the Champs-Elysees began shout ing, apparently alerting police who rushed in and tackled him. “I saw a guy with a gun,” said a witness, Mohamed Chelali, who told LCI television that he and other members of the crowd helped subdue the man. Another man knocked the rifle out of the attacker’s hand and “I threw myself forward, grabbed the gun and then every one started calling: ‘Police, police,”’ Chelali said. His account was not immediately confirmed by officials. Paris police said in a state ment that the man, whom they did not identify, was 25 years old and a member of “neo-Nazi and hooligan” groups. u It was an assassi nation attempt. He admitted he wanted to kill the president. — Patrick Devedjian French government minister the gunman tried to shooul self while being overcome. Interior Minister Ni« ! Sarkozy said the rifle bought last week. The man’s motives attacking Chirac were immediately known. C crushed his far-right oppor National Front leader ? Marie Le Pen, in the sec round of France’s preside election in May, winnmf percent of the vote and a ond term. Devedjian said the g un was from “the extreme, exit even further right right. An officer close to the inves tigation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the gunman was linked to a far-right student group, the Groupe Union Defense, and has a history of psychiatric problems. Police later transferred the man to a psychiatric facility, French tele vision and radio networks said. “It was an assassination attempt,” said a government minister, Patrick Devedjian. “He admitted he wanted to kill the president.” Devedjian, who is under the interior minister, said Woodsf trims a | woodsh Stuc National Front.” Le Pen denied any con tion to the gunman an demned “all assassins attempts aimed at the repre tative of the state.’ “I was sure that if a m ai one day fired at the P reSI1 then it would be said in one or another that he was rroi story extreme right” Le Pensai Rea]ly Wort Thf» impmnt on Chirac ^ By Mel THE Business The attempt on Chirac as several European con are facing a resurgence m port for far-right g roU P s movements have won vo^ playing on fears of imm’g crime and economic stag lew controv the Stan raduate S( md the Assc Collegiate S >oth which < vides no real advancemen Dan Na Graduate The Ridge Manager’s Gone Ape Swing on over for a wet and wild pool party 2:00 - 5:00 Every Tuesday throughout July w/ food provided by New York Sub DJ and music: Reef, SOHO Lounge,The Library Check out our 2 bedrooms and the NO security deposit special!
