The background to the incident is still unclear. The victim is said to be a teacher. The man showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in class, a police source said.
Just a few weeks ago there was a knife attack in front of the former editorial building of the satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris. Two people were injured; here too, investigators assume a terrorist background.
