From Strasbourg gunman cried ‘Allahu Akbar’ during attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe gunman who carried out a mass shooting in Strasbourg cried “Allahu Akbar” (“God is Greatest”) as he opened fire, France’s anti-terror prosecutor Remy Heitz says, adding the attack was being investigated as a terrorist incident.
The gunman is still on the run, but four people connected to him were detained overnight in the eastern French city, Heitz tells a news conference.
The shooting is being investigated by the anti-terrorist section of the Paris prosecutor’s office because of “the place targeted, the way the attack was carried out, the gunman’s profile” and reports of his shouting Allahu Akhbar, the prosecutor adds.
