A young man, formerly in a deradicalisation programme, was arrested after attacking police officers while armed with two knives in the department of Vaucluse, allegedly yelling “Allahu akbar”.
The attacker, 20-year-old Youssouf H., had entered a garden in the commune of Bollène on Wednesday shortly after 9 a.m. and tried to break down the door of a home with a planter.
A local alerted police and when two officers arrived, the man, armed with two knives, yelled, “Death to the cops! Allahu Akbar!” and attacked the pair, according to France Bleu.
While both police were protected by their bulletproof vests, one officer received some minor injuries. Police managed to subdue the attacker with a taser and take him into custody.
The 20-year-old was then handed over to the Avignon authorities. The National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office has been notified of the incident, but so far has not taken up the investigation.
According to terrorism expert Jean-Charles Brisard, the president of the Centre for the Analysis of Terrorism, the 20-year-old was part of a deradicalisation programme and that his brother was a well-known jihadist who had returned from Syria in 2017 and was sentenced to 7 years in prison.

My limited experience with the police in France tells me this did not end well for the terrorist.
French Police baffled as to the motive
[[the 20-year-old was part of a deradicalisation programme]]
Fail.
The Ministry of Propaganda has helpfully informed us that “Allahu Akbar” means “this has nothing to do with Islam”...../s
motive undetermined
/sarc
Repeat the deradicalization programming.
The police subdued the jihadist with a taser, and took him into custody. What? So he can kill some innocent person later? Why didn’t the police ventilate the jihadist?
Get rid of the shake and bakes
Biden can’t wait to get them here.
“Bulletproof vests” aren’t necessarily “knifeproof” vests...
