The killings themselves were shocking.
On October 3rd four police officers were knifed to death at Paris police
headquarters by one of their colleagues. What has emerged since is more
sinister. The perpetrator, who was shot dead at the scene, was a suspected
jihadist who had access to classified police intelligence files.
France has been shaken by the revelations.
Mickaël Harpon was a 45-year-old French computer technician from Martinique,
employed since 2003 at the intelligence service within the Paris police
headquarters. He enjoyed high-level security clearance, which was renewed in
2008 and 2013. His job gave him access to a mass of intelligence data,
including personal contact details of police officers and of individuals under
surveillance, some of which have subsequently been found on a usb key
in his possession. The prosecutor has opened an inquiry into an act of
terrorism.
