On the 29th (local time), foreign media such as the Associated Press, CNN and Le Monde reported that the terrorist incidents occurred one after another at the French consulate in Nice and Avignon in France and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

At least three people were killed in the morning of that morning in a gun attack inside and outside a cathedral in Nice, southern France. One of the dead was beheaded.

According to foreign media reports, the incident took place inside and outside the Notre Dame Cathedral in Nice this morning. A terrorist wielded a weapon, a woman was beheaded and two were stabbed to death. The terrorist was arrested by the police 10 minutes after the incident. He was wounded by a police shot and was taken to hospital, foreign media reported. The police assumed that he was the only criminal.

Nice Mayor Christian Estrogen said that when the terrorist was arrested by police, he continued to shout “God is great” in Arabic. The mayor of Estrogenis said of the incident that “everything points to a terrorist attack.”

The Washington Post (WP) cited local media reports in France and reported that one in three victims was beheaded by a terrorist inside the cathedral. The other two victims were later stabbed and killed one after the other. Reuters reported that one of the victims was a church butler. Another victim, after being stabbed by a weapon, escaped from the church to escape the terrorist, but died of injuries, foreign media reported. The daily mail reported that a total of two people died by beheading.
He reported that it was a man in his twenties named Brahim.

On the same day, a man was arrested in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for stabbing a guard at a French consulate with a weapon. Foreign media such as the Associated Press reported that the suspect who attacked the security guard was a Saudi in his 40s. The incident took place shortly after the attacks in Nice, in the south of France.

The French embassy in Saudi Arabia said a security guard who was stabbed by a weapon was taken to hospital and that his health is stable. In a statement, the French embassy said: “I strongly condemn the brutal attacks targeting diplomatic facilities,” and advised: “Keep the best watch on the people of Saudi Arabia.”

Hours after the terrorist incident in Nice, a man armed with guns attacked police in Avignon, France. According to foreign media such as the Telegraph, about two hours after the Nice attacks, a suspect with a gun in the streets of Avignon threatened the police, shouting “God is the greatest.” The suspect was shot and killed by the police. Foreign media reported that there are still no victims.

At the beginning of the 16th in France, on the 16th, a 47-year-old high school teacher, Samuel Party, who showed a cartoon published in Charley Epdo, a current affairs magazine that satirizes Muhammad, was beheaded by an 18-year-old Muslim boy .

After this incident, an atmosphere of commemoration of the deceased teacher spread in French society, and French President Emmanuel Macron immediately announced the Islamic Hard Line. In response to this move, the Islamic world has accused the French government of pursuing an anti-Islamic policy. In some Muslim countries, protests were held against the French government and President Macron, saying: “Stop discrimination against Islam.”

If these terrorist incidents are revealed as Muslim hate crimes, there are concerns that the conflict between France and the Islamic world will escalate in the future and the confrontation between the two sides could reach an extreme.
