French prosecutors open probe into ‘terrorist plot’ after deadly Paris knife attack

The attack close to the Eiffel Tower around 9:00pm (2000 GMT) during a busy weekend came with the country on its highest alert, as tensions rise against the background of the war between Israel and Hamas.

Prosecutors specialising in terrorist incidents told AFP they had opened a probe into the attacker, who was identified as a French national born in 1997 to Iranian parents. The man was arrested soon after the attack.

The attacker, known to authorities and in treatment for mental illness, shouted "Allahu Akbar" – Arabic for "God is greatest" – at the moment of the attack, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said at the scene by Bir Hakeim bridge over the River Seine.

The man, who lived with his parents in the Essonne region south of Paris, told police he could not stand Muslims being killed in "Afghanistan and Palestine" and accused France of being "an accomplice to what Israel is doing" in the Gaza Strip, Darmanin added.

Interesting how a conflict in one muzzie country leads to demonstrations and violence from muzzles in other countries. This isn’t a new phenomena either.

The chart showing incremental damage from increasing populations of muzzles in a country comes to mind. We’re wise to pay attention to it, at home and in our travels.

Our paramount concern. We must safeguard against Islamophobia and hate speech against the religion of peace.

***The attacker, known to authorities and in treatment for mental illness***

Sounds like a mass murderer in the US. Any calls for “More gun control?”
