Man Stabs 2 To Death, Injures 7 In France After Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’

A man wielding a knife attacked residents venturing out to shop in a town under lockdown south of the French city of Lyon Saturday, killing two people and wounding others after shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’.

According to a local media report, the attack took place at 11 a.m. in a commercial street in Romans-sur-Isere.

The assailant is said to have shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before knifing ‘at least nine people’ who were queuing to go into the bakery in Romans-sur-Isère, southern France.

The alleged attacker was arrested by police nearby. Prosecutors did not identify him. They said he had no documents but claimed to be Sudanese and to have been born in 1987.

Ekohotblog understands that France is at it’s third week of lockdown due to the deadly coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 6,500 people in the country alone.
