The terrorist attack (according to French President Macron) in Paris has caused a global impact.
On Friday, an 18-year-old Chechen kidnapped a university professor from Bois-d’Aulne à Conflans in the Conflans-Saint-Honorine area and beheaded him, shouting “Allahu Akbar”. He was later neutralized by the police after being persecuted.
As it turned out in the course of the investigation, the motive for his heinous act was the screening of the cartoon teacher of Muhammad, which had been published in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Tragic irony
Ironically, the perpetrator apparently killed the teacher for a lesson he gave the school on freedom of expression, in which he presented the sketches of Muhammad.
The teacher appears to have been targeted by some parents on October 5 after giving the lesson.

“Allahu Akbar”
The case has been taken up by the Antiterrorist Prosecutor’s Office (Pnat), which said in a statement that it had launched a preliminary investigation into “homicide related to terrorists” and “the establishment of a terrorist criminal gang.” Witnesses, quoted by Reuters, said they heard the gunman shout “Allahu Akbar” before attacking his victim.
According to the website actu.fr, the municipal police located the victim around 5.30 p.m. (local time), in Rene Picard Square, near a school. The aggressor was still present at the scene and was called to surrender, but threatened them with the weapon he was holding and escaped.
The pursuing officers fired and neutralized when he reached Erani-sir-Oise and then again refused to surrender. The author was reportedly armed with a knife and a pistol, probably a repeating rifle.
Shocking video
A shocking video showing the moment when the police located and shot the 18-year-old perpetrator of the horrible attack, is published by the French Le Parisien.
The video, according to Le Parisien, shows the persecution of the perpetrator, who after beheading the unfortunate professor, was killed by police shots a few hundred meters from the scene of the attack.
According to the man who released the video, he was sitting in his living room when he heard strange noises. “We went to look in the garden and saw a man running and being chased by the police,” he explains.
The video shows police repeatedly asking the man to fall to the ground and drop his gun.
“I did not get to see him, I only saw that he was dressed in light clothing and that he was not wearing a religious costume,” he concludes.
The video ends with a series of shots, which according to Le Parisien, are the bullets that killed the 18-year-old perpetrator.

“Barbarism”
Shocked by this unthinkable crime, students and parents met last night by AFP in the neighborhood where the attack occurred, which they described as a quiet area, with no criminal record.
“I saw him today, he came to my classroom to see our teacher, I am amazed that I will never see him again,” said Thiago, a student.
“We have the impression that this only happens to others, but no, it happened at our door, at our house,” added his father, Alfredo.
The murder also sparked a wave of outrage in the French political world, regardless of party affiliation, according to APE. In the French National Assembly, legislators rose to “pay homage to the memory” of the professor and condemn the “heinous attack”.
“The murder of a history professor is an attack on freedom of expression and the values of democracy,” said the president of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, in a message on Twitter.
“The horrible murder of a teacher”, also condemned former president Francois Hollande through Twitter. “More than ever we must remain united in the face of barbarism and darkness.” My thoughts are with the teacher’s family and the entire educational community, “said Hollande, who was president of France in 2015 when the country was rocked by terrorist attacks. deadliest in its history.
The “unbearable level of barbarism” of this attack was condemned by the president of the extreme right National Alarm, Marin Le Pen, while the leader of the radical left, Jean-Luc Melanson, expressed his condemnation of the “heinous crime.”
Charlie Hebdo, whose editorial team was decimated in January 2015, expressed on Twitter “his horror and outrage,” noting that “intolerance has led to other levels.”
The attack on the old Charlie Hebdo offices
The attacker struck shortly after noon in front of a Charlie Hebdo office in Baghdad, killing at least three people.
The perpetrator of this Islamist attack told investigators that he acted in response to the publication and reissue of Muhammad’s cartoon magazine in early September, when the trial for the January 2015 attack began.
Along with Patti, 259 people have been victims of the unprecedented wave of jihadist attacks that has rocked France since 2015.
“The darkness will not win”
French President Emmanuel Macron was at the scene of the horrific attack on Friday night.
“One of our fellow citizens was killed today because he taught, because he taught the students freedom of expression, freedom of belief and non-belief,” said Emanuel Macron. “Our compatriot was the victim of a cowardly attack, he was the victim of an Islamic terrorist attack,” he added.
In fact, he described the perpetrator as a terrorist who wanted to attack the Republic of France, adding that the terrorists will not divide France and the darkness will not win in the country.
“I want to say tonight to all the teachers in France that the country will stand by their side today and tomorrow to protect and defend them,” said Emanuel Macron. “I will say it today in the clearest way. They will not pass. We will block them, they will not pass!” The darkness and the violence that follows it will not win, “he emphasized.
