Local Editor

A gas factory near Grenoble, France was attacked on Friday, leaving at least one dead and several wounded. A body was found decapitated alongside a flag used by the "ISIL" terror group. Local media said the attack was carried out by two men who drove into the building.

A suspected Takfiri attacker pinned a decapitated head covered with Arabic writing to the gates of a gas factory in eastern France Friday before being arrested, police said.

"According to the initial findings of the enquiry, one or several individuals on board a vehicle drove into the factory. An explosion then took place," said one of the sources.

"The decapitated body of a person was found nearby the factory but we do not yet know whether the body was transported to the place or not," added this source, adding that a "flag with Arabic writing on it was found on the scene."

Meanwhile, the man thought to be the person who carried out the attack had been arrested, according to sources close to the enquiry.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said he would go "immediately" to the scene, his office said.

The attack occurred around 10:00 am local time [0800 GMT], according to local media.

Moreover, the attack came nearly six months after the Takfiri extremist attacks in and around Paris that killed 17 people in January that started with a shooting at satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Two Takfiri brothers attacked the satirical magazine, killing 12. Six others were also killed during the three-day attacks.

Hence, the attacks drew record crowds out on the streets of Paris days in a historic "march against terrorism".
