French prosecutors say stabber was mentally ill, terrorism not suspected
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench prosecutors are not treating a deadly stabbing attack outside Paris as a terrorism case, says Interior Minister Gerard Collomb.
He notes the attacker suffered from serious mental health issues although he had also been flagged for glorifying terrorism.
The man killed his mother and sister and seriously injured another woman before being shot dead by police. The Islamic State terror group, which has a history of opportunistic claims, swiftly claimed responsibility.
