    Seven detained after knife attack near ex-Charlie Hebdo offices

    Seven detained after knife attack near ex-Charlie Hebdo offices

    I saw this yesterday but waited for verification that it was terrorism before posting. A Jihadist attacked two people on a smoke break with a meat cleaver.

    A man armed with a meat cleaver wounded two people in the attack on Friday.

    The main suspect, identified as an 18-year-old man of Pakistani origin, was arrested near the scene. Police said six others were in custody and being questioned.



    The attack is being treated as a terrorist incident.



    Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said it was "clearly an act of Islamist terrorism". He said police had underestimated the threat level in the area.



    The attack came as a high-profile trial was under way of 14 people accused of helping two jihadists carry out the 2015 attack on Charlie Hebdo, in which 12 people were killed.

    Don't know yet. He could be a local who radicalized. Or he could have infiltrated Europe for the attack. But considering it was a pretty lame attack, it is likely the former.
