PARIS (Reuters) – A 20-year-old man who fatally stabbed a teacher and wounded three others in an attack at a school in the French city of Arras on Oct 13 pledged allegiance to the Islamic state, said French anti-terrorism prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard.
Ricard also told a news conference on Tuesday that he had requested the opening of a judicial investigation against three persons, including the main suspect Mohammed M., for crimes tied to terrorism.
