Police: Suspect Shouted 'Allahu Akbar' Before Fatal Stabbing in French School

 

A man of Chechen origin who was under surveillance by the French security services over suspected radicalizationstabbed a teacher to death at his former high school and critically wounded two other people in northern France on Friday, authorities said.

 

The attack was being investigated as potential terrorism amid soaring global tensions over the war between Israel and Hamas. It also happened almost three years after another teacher, Samuel Paty, was beheaded by a radicalized Chechen man near a Paris area school.

 

French anti-terror prosecutors were leading the investigation into the stabbings at the Gambetta-Carnot school, which enrolls students ages 11-18 and is located in the city of Arras, some 115 miles (185 kilometers) north of Paris.

 

A colleague and a fellow teacher identified the dead educator as Dominique Bernard, a French language teacher at the school.

 

President Emmanuel Macron, who visited the school hours after the attack, said the victim “stepped in and probably saved many lives.” Macron also said that police thwarted an “attempted attack” in another French region after the teacher's fatal stabbing, but he did not provide details.
