PARIS (Reuters) - An assailant shouting "Allah Akbar" killed a passer-by in a knife attack that also wounded four others in the heart of Paris late on Saturday before he was shot dead by police, French authorities said.

 

French prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters the police's anti-terrorism unit would launch an investigation, given the aggressor's "mode of operation."

 

French President Emmanuel Macron praised officers for "neutralizing the terrorist." France "will not yield an inch to the enemies of freedom," Macron said on Twitter.

 

The country has been on high alert amid a series of attacks, commissioned or inspired by the Islamic State militant group, over the past three years that has killed dozens of people.

 

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack in post via its Amaq news agency, but provided no proof for its claim.

 

French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb called it an "odious" attack. It took place in the heart of the French capital in an district renowned for the Paris opera and many landmark retail stories.

 

Witnesses described for French media how they saw the assailant running towards police officers who shot him.

 

"We were told to get into a bar quickly. I was curious and went outside again. Outside, I saw a person on the ground about 200 metres from me. The police, fire brigade and ambulance arrived," one female witness told LCI television. "I could not see anything else after that."

TV footage showed forensic police at the scene.

"We were told to get into a bar quickly"

I would most likely have already been in there

Another loony Merkel mouse running riot, it'll only get worse

Outstanding and rapid response by French police. Thankfully these Islamist attacks currently appear to be slowing in tempo in Western countries. RIP to the murdered victim and quick recovery for the injured.

Yes it certainly will. Ramadan starts in 2 days time. This could have been a prelude to the month of mayhem we all dread. 

 

 RIP to the deceased and thoughts and prayers to the wounded, hope they recover and get over the trauma and shock without lasting mental issues. 

 

 The important thing is the attack has been covered honestly by msm for once, no muddying the waters or offering appalling excuses on this occasion. Could this be due to Macron's pledge to start reforming Islam in France? The covering up of all these attacks was not the right way to start the reform IMO. Well done Reuters.

What Islamists attacks in France have proven to be exposed as MSM attempts to "muddy the waters / offer excuses". Just because their may be insufficient info in the immediate aftermath of a terror attack in France by MSM to satisfy you or the facts do not match with your assumptions, does not mean cover ups are being undertaken.

At risk of veering slightly off topic at your request - The murder of Sarah Halimi for one(finally reclassified). Other European cover-ups by authorities would include the response to Cologne on NYE remember the sexual assault of over 1,000 German women in a mass frenzy - the night was described as having "passed peacefully" at first. The industrial scale grooming and rapes of young white girls in the UK which were covered up for decades as another example. Now can we pls get back to this current topic and latest jihad, thanks.

 

 I was trying to commend the press for their accuracy in reporting this event.

 

 It will be interesting to see whether this guy was also known to authorities. My guess is that yes, he will be known to them, but they let him run around in public anyway. We will see....

None of your examples have relevance to MSM coverups,. In fact MSM were / have been heavily involved with exposing police / political expedients of misinformation

It would have been nice if MSM had given details about the gruesome acts committed by terrorists at the Eagles of death metal concert in Paris. Naturally I had to learn that they gouged out eyes and severed genitals(put in mouth of victims) through the alternative media. 

Sure the msm will plaster images everywhere of refugee children drowning to appeal to the emotional(for obvious reasons) but hesitant to show us what the fighting age adult males are doing(again for obvious reasons).

Deleted the far right rant. 'alternative media' - LOL. Claims that were debunked by a French Court inquiry.

I would blame it on the west for keeping Muslims under totalitarian regimes loaded with extreme bull*it knowledge. They should have knew why Muhammad was the last messenger 1400 years ago to clarify that all religions are basically one most humans share in common which is never harm others and honor your loved ones.

You are right, they are slowing, but not thanks to pc idiots.

[RickBradford]

The perpetrator will soon be diagnosed as "mentally ill" or having "a history of drug-taking". 

 

Anything to keep the focus off his true motivation -- committing terrorism on behalf of the "religion of peace."

No, it shouldn't.

 

BTW, why are you even on this forum? It obviously causes you a lot of heartache as you are without a doubt the TVF poster who dishes out the most "sad' reactions to posts by a huge margin.

Oh right, 'far right' is now anyone who dares speak the inconvenient truth these days. Not sure if you're aware but your mud isn't sticking anymore as people are sick and tired of being lied to. Call me super duper far right if you want, nobody cares.

And you didn't debunk anything. There have been plenty of accounts where European law enforcement have been involved in cover ups.

The correctness of holding reports until further news becomes available was born out in the recent van attack in Canada.

 

Yes it was met with the usual ‘The MSN are hiding the truth’; ‘THEY are hiding the truth from us’; The PC brigade won’t speak the truth’.

 

Then the truth came out.

 

The purpose of Terrorism is revealed in its name.

 

There are a shockingly large number of people eager to aide the terrorist by spreading misinformation and distrust.

 

 

We need more cool cool heads and cold facts.

I debunked the MSM claims of your fellow traveller - end of. Prove your claims of coverups of Islamist terror attacks by EU security forces. 

 

If you use the memes of the far right / alt right, 'patriots', whatever, you will be identified as such. You are  correct, it is appalling people such as you and your fellow travellers are getting more traction, regrettably, if it continues, will destroy Western democratic values as is already happening in some EU countries. As I've repeatedly informed on this forum, Western security agencies identify your memes as a direct threat to our societies.

And the do-goody left call us racists for not wanting any more followers of this evil cult of death in a our midst and will probably now criticize the police for not tackling the murdering scumbag 'humanely' !

These People are nothing more than Delusional Psycho Killers whether they find evidence of radicalisation by Isil inspired propoganda or he was Drug crazed addict claiming Isil Links they are just nutters.

A true Terrorist would target hard targets like Police Stations and Military to show their strength.

These are just lunatics who believe the BS they are fed just like their counterparts on the Far right.

You do not become a Martyr, You do not go to Heaven or get 40 Virgins.

You get dead and you are remembered like a piece of Dog Faeces on a shoe nothing more.

Good people will not think of them we will just move on with Our lives

[ballpoint]

RIP to the victim, and luckily the attacker didn't have easy access to a gun, or the toll would have been much higher.

[chippendale]

The annual Ramadan Bombathon starts in 2 days. This is just a gentle warm-up by our peaceful, tolerant and multicultural friends.

 

One suspects that Big Government, Brussels Mandarins and Big Business are behind this repopulation of Europe with uneducated immigrants, because it creates a huge reserve pool of workers, keeps labour costs down, subdues the population, and weakens labour unions.
