The French President Emmanuel Macron denounced what he called an ‘Islamist terrorist attack’ after a teenager shouting Allahu Akbar allegedly beheaded a school teacher with a knife in Paris.
The victim was said to have been a middle school history teacher who had enraged parents by displaying cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to pupils.
The attacker, whose identity has not been officially established, was shot by French officers as they tried to arrest him and later died of his injuries, police said.
Today the French leader visited the school where the teacher worked in the town of Conflans-Saint-Honorine and met with staff.
He said: ‘One of our compatriots was murdered today because he taught… the freedom to believe or not believe.
‘He said the attack should not divide France because that is what the extremists want. We must stand all together as citizens.’
A source told Le Parisien: ‘The victim had recently given a lesson to his students on freedom of expression and had shown the caricatures of Muhammad’. The murdered teacher was later identified as Samuel P.
His lesson led to an enraged man confronting him with a knife, and then cutting his head off, said the source.
The dead suspected terrorist was described as an 18-year-old who was born in Moscow, and who had links with the school.
The bloodbath took place in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a suburb some 25 miles from the centre of the French capital on Friday at around 5pm (1500 GMT) near a school.
