So maybe another way to fear the tourists? How come there was an hold up in the morning?

Eighteen people have been successfully released by French special forces from a Primark shop in a district near Paris, after gunmen took them hostage in a failed robbery attempt.

The dramatic situation at a Primark store in Villeneuve-la-Garenne commune in the Hauts-de-Seine region northwest of the city started early in the morning, French media reported. As armed robbers entered the shop, one of the employees sent a text message to her boyfriend reporting the situation.

Police deployed the elite RAID team to the scene and cordoned off the area. The gunmen were barricaded inside the shop. French media say there were two or three assailants involved in the hostage-taking.

Fortunately, the situation was resolved with no bloodshed. It was not immediately clear whether the attackers managed to escape or hid in the large shop during the police operation and sneaked out.

The Villeneuve-la-Garenne Primark is one of 165 stores located in the Qwartz mall, where the hostage-taking happened, and one of five the brand has in France.

Primark is a store from Ireland.

It's impossible to guess what was going on there, due to the lack of information revealed by the French authorities. That alone makes it smell fishy. What the hell was it? An attempted robbery? A false flag? A special forces training operation that was foiled by a victim who alerted her boyfriend, forcing the police to shut it down and let the 'gunmen' mysteriously escape capture? Were the perpetrators caught? The French authorities don't say. If it was a criminal robbery attempt, why haven't the culprits been named?

That's the way REAL armed robberies often end. We've become so accustomed to the script involved in the many false flag type events, that we expect normal ones to follow the same pattern of many dead civilians and dead "terrorists" who tell no tales.
