France looks into terror motive after Tunisian shooting
The Star
|June 04, 2025
FRENCH prosecutors were on Monday probing a terror motive after a man who had posted racist videos shot dead his Tunisian neighbour and badly wounded a Turkish man in the south of France.
-
The shooting late on Saturday in Puget-sur-Argens, in the southern region of Var, came after a Malian man was stabbed to death in April in a mosque, also in southern France, as concern grows over hate crimes against Muslims.
The shooting was initially inves-tigated by regional prosecutors as a suspected murder motivated by the victim's ethnicity or religion.
But French national anti-terror prosecutors, known by their French acronym PNAT, announced on Monday that they would be taking over the investigation.
The suspected killer, a French-man born in 1971, fled the scene in a car but was arrested not far away after his partner alerted police.
He posted videos with racist con-tent before and after the shooting late on Saturday, according to regional prosecutor Pierre Couttenier.
