A knife attack occurred this Thursday, October 29 in Nice.
A man attacked several people this Thursday morning around 9 am, inside the Notre-Dame basilica in Nice.
A first assessment shows two dead - a man and a woman - and several wounded, including one very seriously. He would have taken refuge, wounded, in a cafe in front of the basilica.
One of the two victims was said to have had his throat cut.
The alleged perpetrator has been arrested, he is injured, announces the mayor of the city, Christian Estrosi. A crisis unit has been activated at the Ministry of the Interior.
"The situation is under control, we must not panic," said the police on the spot. "The detonations you hear are caused by the Raid, the demining services", added Florence Gavello, spokesperson for the police.
The anti-terrorist cell has been seized.
President Emmanuel Macron is to join the crisis unit at 10:30 am. Prime Minister Jean Castex hastily left the National Assembly to go there as well.

Another sufferer of Sudden Jihad Syndrome?
What’s an “anti terrorist cell”?
I think it is a poor translation
Will Madam Guillotine be brought out to deal with the murderer?
Now three dead, many injured, and the French government is calling it terrorism.
That’s what it looks like. Reports say that one of the vics, a female, was decapitated.
the French should look at this as “cultural enrichment”..
This knife attack is something to bear in mind and consider in defense of the police taking down Walter Wallace. Two dead could be the police, if police don’t protect themselves.
France is reaping the rewards of multi-culturalism.
