Ground "hi-jack" at Marseille/Marignane

This is not a thread I normally venture into but thought you freight guys might want to see this.

Marseille | Un avion braqué en pleine nuit à l'aéroport | La Provence

For non French speakers, bandits rammed the fence early yesterday morning and held up the crew and baggage handlers of a recently arrived cargo aircraft. When they discovered nothing of value on board, they robbed the crew, made their getaway, and burned out the (presumably stolen) car.
Police are blaming the security lapse on the outsourcing of security to private companies. Airport management are refusing to comment, citing the secrecy of the investigation.
