A woman was decapitated and two other people were killed by a knife-wielding terrorist who shouted Allahu akbar! at a church in the French city of Nice one of three attacks targeting the country on Thursday.
Mayor Christian Estrosi said on Twitter the vile attack occurred at the Notre Dame Basilica in the Mediterranean city and that police had detained the assailant.
Two people were killed inside the church, an elderly woman who was beheaded, and a man whose throat was cut, according to the BBC.
A wounded woman managed to flee to a nearby café , but died of her injuries later, a police source told Agence France-Presse.
No Mass was underway at the time of the attack, but the church opens at about 8 a.m. and people come in to pray at all hours, the Rev. Philippe Asso, who serves at the church, told the outlet.
A video posted online captured the moment police ran inside the church less than a half-mile from the site where another attacker plowed a truck into a Bastille Day crowd, killing 86 people, on July 14, 2016.
Thursdays attack prompted lawmakers in parliament to hold a minute of silence, before Prime Minister Jean Castex and other ministers left for an emergency meeting with President Emmanuel Macron, who is expected to head to the city.
Castex told lawmakers that the country would raise its alert level to emergency in response to the attack hours before the country was to go into a one-month coronavirus lockdown.
A wave of jihadist attacks, often by so-called lone wolf assailants, has killed more than 250 people in France since 2015.

I wonder if France is having second thoughts about inviting all those Muslims into their country/s.
I can’t care about the French more than they do. Good luck with your multiculturalism. At least you weren’t racist!
The French will do nothing. Their “rulers” don’t mind if the subjects get their heads sawed off by foreigners.
Proof infidels deserved this in 3...2...1...
Forget France. The French lost forever its best genetic stock from 1914-1945 qnd then committed cultural suicide by embracing agnosticism, neo paganism and opeing its borders toculturally alien people. Never again should American blood and treasure be sacrificed for France. Look at France and behold globalism.

How to say Reconquista in French?
There’s a reason most muslims are from the middle east.
Islam is not compatible with non-muslims.
Muslims should not be allowed to immigrate into a non-muslim country unless they renounce and give up islam (and mean it).
If the info here turns out to be accurate...
...the perp came to the EU via Italy.
Let’s here it for open borders!
Note to the UK: Brexit faster.
If the French are having a decapitation problem, they should bring back the guillotine.
France and England, we warned you both. Now, the infestation has gone too far to stop without extreme measures.
You allow child sex traffic to continue because you don’t want to ‘embarrass’ the Pakistanis who keep doing it.
You do not defend your native born citizens.
Who am I kidding? There are plenty of American Judges who would treat these ‘refugees’ in the very same lenient manner.
France is finished unless they have a 2nd revolution to take back their country and culture....what happened to the yellow jackets?....authorities still searching for a motive?...
Dont jump to any any conculsions.
After more than a year of protesting, the corona stopped the yellow vests. Also the Hong Kong protests. Part of the plan?
