Police did not immediately approach the perpetrator as he appeared to be carrying explosives. Initially, a team of firefighters deactivated the explosives before authorities could get close. The author was reportedly armed with a knife and a pistol, probably a repeating rifle.
Witnesses quoted by Reuters said they heard the gunman shout “Allah Akbar” before attacking his victim, but this has not been confirmed by French media. The perpetrator, who died, appears to have been an Algerian national, born in 1972, but “Le Parisien” suggests that the man may be much younger and of Chechen origin.
The French network Actu17 assures that the perpetrator warned about the attack on Twitter, in which he published the image of the teacher and wrote: “To Macron, the commander of the infidels, I executed one of the dogs of hell who dared to curse against Muhammad”.
The victim of the attack in France is a teacher
According to the latest information transmitted by FranceNews24, the victim is a professor, a history teacher at a school in Conflan-St-Honore, while the author seems to have acted on the occasion of the publication of Muhammad’s sketches by the satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo ».
Specifically, the victim was a 47-year-old history teacher and the aggressor was an 18-year-old, born in Moscow. The French “Le Parisien” transmits that the perpetrator killed the teacher after the unfortunate gave a lesson in the school of freedom of expression, in which he presented the sketches of Mohammed, who had starred in the terrorist attack against “Charlie Hebdo”. The teacher’s decision to display Mohammed’s sketches appears to have sparked a backlash from some parents at a local school on October 5.
The French counterterrorist took over the case
The case is being handled by the Antiterrorist Prosecutor’s Office (Pnat), which said in a statement that it had initiated a preliminary investigation into “homicide related to terrorists” and “the establishment of a terrorist criminal gang.”
Interior Minister Geral Darmanen, who is in Morocco on an official visit, has decided to return to Paris immediately.
Last month, a Pakistani immigrant living in France attacked with a machete and injured two people in front of the former offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. In these offices, almost five years ago, Islamist terrorists killed 12 people because the magazine published satirical sketches of the Prophet Muhammad.
