MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - French soldiers shot and a killed a man on Sunday after he stabbed to death two women at Marseille’s main train station, the French interior ministry said, in what police sources called a “likely terrorist act”.
Three police sources said the suspect had shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) as he carried out his attack. No further details were immediately available.
Police cordoned off the area and told people to stay away.
A witness told Reuters she saw a man take out a knife from his sleeve and then stab a young girl and then a second woman, shouting what could have been “Allahu Akbar”. She added that she saw soldiers from France’s Sentinelle force who were patrolling in the area arrive on the public square at the Gare Saint-Charles station.
“After the attack carried out next to Marseille Saint-Charles, I am immediately going to the site of the attack,” French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said on Twitter.
France has been in a state of emergency following a spate of attacks by Islamist militants over the last two years, including attacks in Paris in November 2015 which killed 130 people.

Don’t wait for them to figure it out. You already know it was a terrorist acting / preying on the unarmed.
I guess admitting the it was a “likely terrorist attack” is better than the usual “no idea what his motivation is” response given by most governments.
Any motive?
Just a disgruntled Suppressive Person.
What was their first clue?
ML/NJ
The French could have elected Le Pan and fought back but NO they elected an open borders globalist. You can’t fix stupid.
But, stil, their motive is a mystery. It’s a real stumper, it is.
Who cares. It’s the “new normal.” Have you heard about the latest acts of fascism by the White Supremacist, Donald Trump and his voters?

Quick! Bring teddy bears! Light candles! Weep! Wail! Then go on your way till next time.
PTS Scientologese for Potential Trouble Source, someone who is under the thrall of a Suppressive Person.
Enjoyez-vous your Muslims, you desarmees Frenchies!
That kind of muzzie attack is so far rather rare in les Etats-Unis.
Les stupides americaines have all those guns but c’est impossible that could be le raison.
;^)
The French did this to themselves.
Put a STOP to these sick Muslim Devils. HOW?
For each terrorist attack Shut down ONE MOSQUE.
and
Export 500 Muslims from country, then 1000 for the next attack
then 2000 etc.
Muslims must be stopped from their terrorist attacks.
The fruits of diversity are exceedingly bitter.
France, go cry to the EU lapdog you elected, Angela Merkels latest crush.
Those darned Christians.
No further details are really necessary…
