Seen the video on that (slightly partisan) site of yours. It doesn't show anything relevant. It doesn't show where the first shots came from. It doesn't show who the french soldiers where shooting at. It shows two (I think) corpses, and a few wounds (a dozen, perhaps). What it very much doesn't show is french soldiers firing at the several hundred people who are standing not fifty meters from them.
The wounded civilians could have been hit by either the french soldiers or their assailants (they claim they were fired upon). The headless corpse (gruesome, I'll grant you) was most likely hit by a french sniper, and I very much doubt he was deliberately targeted without reason. On the video, there is no weapon near the corpse, but it is not the same sequence than the shoothing. Nice propaganda, that's all it is.
