A Tunisian man who killed three people in a church in France only recently arrived in Europe, officials say.
The suspect, 21, had an Italian Red Cross document, issued after he arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa by migrant boat last month.
He was shot by police and is in a critical condition. One of the victims was “virtually beheaded”, said the French chief anti-terrorism prosecutor.
President Emmanuel Macron said it was an “Islamist terrorist attack”….
In another development, a 47-year-old man believed to have been in contact with the attacker was detained by police late on Thursday, French media reported….
The suspect in the attack in Nice was heard repeatedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) before being shot by police.
A Koran, two telephones and a 30cm (12-inch) knife were found on the attacker, said chief anti-terrorist prosecutor Jean-François Ricard.
“We also found a bag left by the attacker. Next to this bag were two knives that were not used in the attack,” he added….
Why did he come to Europe? This demonstrates yet again the folly of admitting large numbers of Muslim migrants without making any attempt to vet them. But even if European authorities had tried to vet this man, it is unlikely that they would have discovered anything, because their dogmatic belief that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism would have led them to ask the wrong questions.
