France: Police Shoot and Kill Knife Attacker

Hat tip Gates of Vienna and Vlad Tepes. Translation by Miss Piggy.


Today in a suburb of Paris, an unidentified man went on a random knife rampage, killing one person and wounding two others before being shot to death by police. The attack occurred in an area outside Paris called Villejuif. It may just be a coincidence, but Villejuif means "Jewish town" in French. I am unaware if this is a Jewish neighborhood. The name apparently has a long historical background.

We need more information as to the identity of the attacker and the victims as well as what he was reportedly shouting, but at first glance, it appears to have the markings of a lone wolf jihad attack. But we don't know that yet. The below video is from Vlad Tepes.




*Update (H/T Vlad Tepes). The Daily Mail (UK) reports that the suspect is identified only as Nathan C. He was reportedly a recent convert to Islam and was reportedly shouting, "Allahu Akhbar" during the attack.
