Waking up this morning, I noticed a friend sharing a story from a news blog called "The Daily Patriot." It claimed that a security guard, a Muslim man by the name of Zouheir, was the one who stopped a suicide bomber outside of the Stade de France on Friday. Here's the lede:
The Journal, for its part, makes it pretty clear Zouheir was only their source for the story, not the object of the story itself, nor even an eyewitness to the story.
French daily Libération already has a piece debunking it.

A muslim hero, liberals say the funniest things....
A heroic Muslim security guard identified by the name Zouheir saved thousands of lives on Friday by preventing a suicide bomber from entering France’s packed 80,000 capacity national football stadium Stade De France.
The site makes this claim based on an unlinked Wall Street Journal article (presumably this one), which aroused my suspicions.
The Journal, for its part, makes it pretty clear Zouheir was only their source for the story, not the object of the story itself, nor even an eyewitness to the story.
Zouheir, who was stationed by the players’ tunnel, said he was briefed on the sequence by the security frisking team at the gate.
Naturally, that hasn't stopped the Internet from making Zouheir into a hero, rather than a media source.
French daily Libération already has a piece debunking it.
