He was armed for a massacre.

Ayoub El Khazzani, the suspected gunman who was overtaken by passengers on a Thalys train in France last week, carried with him an AKM assault rifle with 270 rounds of ammunition, a Luger M80 automatic pistol with a full cartridge, a box-cutter and a water-bottle-sized container full of gasoline, according to French Prosecutor Francois Molins.

“According to all of the witness accounts we’ve gathered … (El Khazzani) wouldn’t have hesitated to use all the arms in his possession — assault rifle, pistol and box-cutter — if it wasn’t for the remarkable intervention of the passengers,” Molins told reporters at a news conference Tuesday.
