FYI -- Hmmm...  A rental car was used in the first WTC attack; a rental truck was used in the Oklahoma City bombing, and now Paris.

What next?  Uber terrorists?

'Several people on the block did see two rental cars used in the attacks ­ a Volkswagen and a SEAT ­ parked in front of the property, a narrow, well-kept house tucked between other single-family homes.'

'After the attacks, *French authorities reconstructed the vehicles’ movements using the cars’ GPS devices.*'

'The black SEAT was used to conduct a series of attacks in which the perpetrators sprayed gunfire into crowds at Le Carillon, La Belle Equipe and other popular establishments in Paris’s 10th and 11th districts.  At least 40 people were killed, many of them sitting outdoors on a mild November evening.'
