A history teacher has been stabbed to death in a Paris suburb. The man’s head was cut off and the incident is being investigated by French prosecutors as a terrorist crime.
According to the police, the teacher recently showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson, which may have been a possible motive for the murder.
The attacker was shot and killed by police after the act, which occurred around 5 p.m. on Friday. Then he had threatened the police with an object similar to a knife.
It is “a murder linked to a terrorist organization,” says the prosecutor’s antiterrorist unit.
France has been rocked by a series of terrorist attacks carried out by extremist Islamist movements. In 2015, the editorial team of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo was attacked in Paris after publishing cartoons of Muhammad. Twelve people died. A trial has recently been launched against several people with alleged links to the attack.
At the end of September this year, several people were attacked by a man armed with a meat ax in front of the former Charlie Hebdo facility in the capital. Two journalists were injured in the attack. The attacker, who according to the prosecutor was motivated by extremist motives, believed that the satirical magazine still had its editorial office on the scene and should have planned to set it on fire.
