Teacher killed in knife attack in France
Hindustan Times
|October 14, 2023
A man of Chechen origin stabbed to death a teacher and severely wounded two other adults on Friday at a school in northeastern France, with President Emmanuel Macron denoucing an act of "Islamist terror".
-
The attack in the town of Arras comes with France, which has large Jewish and Muslim populations, on high alert for security risks following the Hamas attack on Israel last weekend.
"This school was struck by the barbarity of Islamist terrorism," Macron said after visiting the school in Arras, saying the victim had "probably saved many lives" with his courage in seeking to block the attacker.
Macron said a second attack had been foiled elsewhere in France by security forces on Friday, but did not give details.
The suspected attacker, Mohammed Moguchkov, who is in his 20s, was arrested by police.
