On 21 March 2016, the The Mideast Beast published an article reporting that France had announced that the country would be bringing back the use of the guillotine for the execution of captured terrorists: The above-referenced article was widely circulated in July 2016 after 84 people were killed in Nice by a truck deliberately driven into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day. However, there is no truth to this report. As noted in their disclaimer, The Medeast Beast is a dark satire web site that does not publish factual stories: The last execution by guillotine in France occurred in 1977. A few years later, in 1981, that country abolished the death penalty.
