In a terrorist attack near the Eiffel Tower on Saturday evening, a 26-year-old
French national, previously sentenced for planning an attack, fatally wounded a
German tourist and injured two others. French President Emmanuel Macron labeled
it a terrorist attack, and the suspect, Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, was swiftly
apprehended by police.
The assailant, known for psychiatric disorders, had posted a video claiming
responsibility on social media. Authorities are investigating potential
connections to a terrorist plot, considering
the attacker's history and statements. The incident raises security concerns
just months before Paris hosts the Olympic Games. |
