France’s anti-terror prosecutor says a suspected Islamic extremist declared allegiance to the Islamic State group before fatally stabbing a teacher in school attack last week.
French national counterterrorism prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard speaks to the press, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023 in Paris. Ricard said a suspected Islamic extremist declared allegiance to the Islamic State group before fatally stabbing a teacher in school attack last week. A teacher was fatally stabbed in the neck and three other people injured in the school attack Friday in the northern town of Arras.
The alleged attacker was a former pupil of the school in the northern town of Arras. A teacher was fatally stabbed in the neck and three other people injured in the assault that prompted France to raise its terror alert level and deploy extra security.Ricard said that shortly before the stabbing, the alleged attacker also recorded a 30-second video of himself in front of a war memorial.
In that video, the attacker “repeatedly attacked, in his own words, the values of the French. He expressed some particularly threatening views,” the prosecutor said.
