'Islamic State' knifeman kills one, injures four others in central Paris
  • 6 years ago
Another apparent terrorist attack in France.
A man with a knife, reportedly shouting "Allahu Akbar," went on a rampage in a touristy neighborhood of Paris on Saturday,... killing one person and injuring four others before he was shot dead by the police.
Hours later, the so-called Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the man was one of its "soldiers."
French President Emmanuel Macron, on Twitter, praised the officers who "neutralized the terrorist," (in his words) and expressed his condolences to the victims and their families.
He added that France has "paid the price in blood" but it "will not yield an inch to the enemies of freedom."
The attacker is yet to be identified and the authorities have not confirmed a motive.
