Hammer-Wielding Man Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ Kills Paris Tourist, Wounds 2 More<\/span><\/p>\n

A knife- and hammer-wielding French national killed a German and wounded two more people close to the Eiffel Tower on Saturday night,<\/strong>\u00a0French interior minister G\u00e9rald Darmanin\u00a0announced<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The attack unfolded around 8 pm local time on the Quai de Grenelle, a tourist-magnet thoroughfare along the Seine River close to the Eiffel Tower. The assailant reportedly first approached a couple and fatally stabbed a Philippines-born German citizen\u00a0<\/strong>in his back and shoulder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As police gave chase, he managed to attack two more people with a hammer<\/strong> before cops mercifully subdued him with a Taser. At least one of those additional victims was an English tourist strolling with his wife and child, according<\/a> to\u00a0Le Parisien<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“The assailant was neutralized very quickly by police. We tried to save the life of this man.<\/strong> It’s a man who died and they (the people who were attacked) were tourists,” Dr Patrick Pelloux tells\u00a0BFM TV<\/em>. The Englishman is hospitalized in stable condition. The other survivor is said to have been “badly hurt.”<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police say they’ve arrested the 26-year-old attacker. However, demonstrating\u00a0a lack of government transparency reminiscent of last week’s stabbing spree in Dublin<\/a><\/strong> by an Algerian immigrant, French authorities have not yet identified him or released details about his ethnicity. To their credit, however, they have said<\/a>\u00a0he is a radical Islamist<\/strong>\u00a0who was born<\/a> in\u00a0Neuilly-Sur-Seine, an exclusive<\/a> western Paris suburb, and who lives with his parents<\/a> in the Esonne region south of the city.<\/p>\n

They also said\u00a0the individual had<\/strong> already been on a police watch list, having<\/strong>\u00a0been sentenced in 2016 to four years in prison<\/strong> for planning a different terror attack. Authorities say that, on Saturday evening, he shouted “Allahu Akbar” — Arabic for “God is greatest” — and later told cops that he was angry that “so many Muslims are dying in Afghanistan and in Palestine.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

An estimated 15,000 residents of Gaza have been killed by the Israel Defense Forces since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on southern Israel. More women and children have been killed there than in the entire Ukraine war that began in February 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Darmanin also said\u00a0the man had been previously diagnosed with psychiatric disorders<\/strong>. The investigation into Saturday’s bloodshed will be led by France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He [suspect] said to the police who arrested him that he could no longer accept that Muslims die in Afghanistan and Palestine<\/strong>,” the official said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paris has endured many attacks fueled by Islamist extremism<\/strong>, most notably the November 2015 suicide-bombing and shooting attacks that killed 130 people — including 90 attending a\u00a0concert at the Bataclan Theater — and injured another 400. In October, the\u00a0French government raised the\u00a0terror alert to the highest threat level<\/a>\u00a0after an\u00a0Islamist radical stabbed a teacher to death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paris will host the 2024 Summer Olympiad in July and August, starting with an unusual and ambitious opening ceremony that will present unique challenges for counterterrorism efforts<\/strong>. Unlike previous opening ceremonies, which take place within the confines of a secured stadium, Paris will host a parade of boats along the Seine, with hopes of attracting some 600,000 spectators along miles of river banks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
