Flushing out terrorists? French actor rehearsing in train toilet mistaken for attacker
‘A French actor rehearsing for an audition in a train toilet in southern France was mistaken for a terrorist by one of the train’s guards. The harmless monologue triggered an anti-terrorist operation, with soldiers mobilized and the performer arrested.
