Islamic State group claims knife attack near Paris
The Islamic State jihadist group claims a knife attack that killed two people 30 kilometrs (20 miles) outside the French capital on Thursday.
“The person who carried out the attack in Trappes, southwest of Paris, was an Islamic State fighter,” its propaganda channel Amaq says.
“He carried out the attack in response to calls to target subjects of the countries of the coalition” fighting IS, it says.
