An Islamist terrorist went on a knife attack in France killing 1 and injuring multiple others. He reportedly shouted “Allahu akbar” during the attack. He’s an “asylum seeker” from Algeria.
The knifeman – identified as 37-year-old Brahim A by Le Figaro – launched his sick stabbing spree in a bustling market square while shouting “Allahu Akbar [God is greater]”.
Dramatic footage shared on social media shows officers chasing the suspect down Rue de Lavoisier before restraining him on the road.
Another clip captures him, his head wrapped in a white bandage, being escorted into a police car by heavily armed officers.
Four people are now in custody, according to the national anti-terrorism prosecutors office.
The suspect was reportedly on France’s Terrorist Radicalization Prevention Reporting File (FSPRT).
The interior minister described him as an Islamic extremist with a schizophrenic profile.
Brahim A. had previously been sentenced to six months in prison for posting a social media video calling for jihad, or “holy war”.
On November, 5, 2023, he recorded himself urging Muslims “to fight for Palestine, to take up arms and to fight the unbelievers,” before attempting to recruit others at a local mosque.
Although sentenced to six months behind bars and banned from French territory for a decade, the attacker was released 50 days early and placed in a detention centre for deportation.
However, Algeria refused to issue a consular pass for his removal – despite French authorities requesting one ten times, the Daily Mail reports.
He was arrested hours later, with cops discovering a knife and a Koram under his pillow.
