Frontline Europe: the intelligence war
“We are not pointing a finger at men but at organisations,” insisted Georges Fenech, a centre-right MP who headed the probe.
In one example of a failing that happened during the Bataclan attack, Fenech said a special police unit that showed up first was insufficiently armed to take on the attackers. But when the arriving officers asked a group of soldiers - themselves deployed as part of an anti-terrorism operation - to lend their assault rifles so they could attempt a raid, the soldiers refused. They were under orders not to fire their weapons and had heard no updates.
