.....during mysterious carjacking in Paris.
Heavily armed robbers have attacked the motorcade of a Saudi prince in Paris, making off with 250,000 euros ($359,000) in cash and reportedly stealing "sensitive" documents. Police say the spectacular robbery took place in northern Paris late on Sunday (local time) as the motorcade was making its way from a hotel on the Champs Elysees to an airport in Le Bourget.
A gang of "between five and eight" thieves in two BMW cars hijacked the first of around 10 vehicles in the convoy, driving off with the three occupants before letting them go, police say. A source close to the investigation confirmed the theft of diplomatic documents but told news agency AFP: "For the moment, we have no details about the nature of these documents. They could be sensitive documents but they could equally well be unimportant." The Saudi embassy in Paris could not be reached for comment.....snip~

Now I wonder who could have pulled this off. It appears someone knew they would be carrying these alleged sensitive documents. Still to pull this off in broad daylight and Right there in the middle of all that traffic. Was quite a feat. What do you think about this?
