Three Dead in France Terror Attack amid Tension over alleged Insult on Prophet Muhammad

Agency Report/

A woman was decapitated, and two others persons including a man were killed in a knife attack by a man shouting Allahu Akbar inside the Notre Dame Basilica church at the French city of Nice today.

The Male victim is reportedly the Sexton of the church.

The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, tweeted that the incident is a “terrorist” attack.

He said it was a terrorist attack, and that the “Islamo-fascist” assailant “didn’t stop shouting Allahu Akhbar even under medication” after being shot and arrested by police in Avignon.

The police believe the attacker, who is a 21-year-old Tunisian migrant called Brahim Aoussaoui, was acting alone. 

A Saudi citizen has also been arrested in Jeddah for stabbing a security guard outside the French consulate with “a sharp tool”.

There have been widespread protests across Islamic nations following French President Emmanuel Macron’s endorsement of legislation legalising artistic illustrations of Prophet Muhammad.
