Orly airport: Drugs and alcohol found in gunman's blood
Blood tests have revealed that a gunman who attacked soldiers at Orly airport in Paris on Saturday had consumed drugs and alcohol.
Ziyed Ben Belgacem, 39, was killed after he put a gun to a soldier's head saying he wanted to "die for Allah".
Paris prosecutors' office said toxicology tests during his autopsy found traces of cocaine and cannabis.
Belgacem also had an alcohol level of 0.93g per litre of blood, nearly twice the legal limit for driving in France.
He is said to have been radicalised in prison, and was on a police watch-list.
