The fact that this 'first on the scene' responder acknowledging taking part in a drill on the same day/location (after having been involved in Charlie hebdo) adds to the wealth of circumstantial evidence we now have showing the perps modus operandi.
In the same way detectives would monitor a slew of suspiciously killed people to see if a serial killer was at large, someone, somewhere at that level (Interpol?) must smell something fishy by now?
Indeed, pov603, however, the problems with the likes of Interpol surface when one looks at what operating cost are needed to keep the enterprise running and who contribute to these operating costs.

As we have seen Syria was involved in the Paris narrative and subsequent events.
If we look back we learn that in Feb. 22, 2013
"Israel has granted a U.S. company the first license to explore for oil and gas in the occupied Golan Heights, John Reed of the Financial Times reports."
A local subsidiary of the New York-listed company Genie Energy will now have exclusive rights to a 153-square mile radius in the southern part of the Golan Heights.
Its administration of the area — which is not recognized by international law — has been mostly peaceful until the Syrian civil war broke out 23 months ago."
"In recent events Secretary of State John Kerry made the case that "thug" and "murderer" Bashar al-Assad must face retribution, as the White House released a report detailing its evidence on the Syrian government's use of chemical weapons last week."
"Its findings are as clear as they are compelling," Kerry said of the report, adding that the credibility of the U.S. was at stake in responding. "... The intelligence community has high confidence."
