Terror in Mulhouse: The city shocked knife attack - a dead man!

in the French town of Mulhouse, near the German border, a gruesome knife attack causes horror. A 37-year-old man who is on the terrorist observation list and was short of a threat of deportation attacked several passers-by on a busy market. A brave visitor who tried to prevent worse was fatally injured. Five other people suffered injuries, one of them seriously, as the police said. The attacker, who called "Allahu Akbar" during the incident, was arrested and is now in police custody, as FOCUS reported online.

The French anti-terrorist prosecutor has already taken over the investigation into the shocking events. The incident took place after the perpetrator refused to sign a form at the police station that was necessary to check his house arrest judicial control. Instead, he exposed a knife and injured some of the people present, including three police officers, since he broke out into his aggressions, as Kosmo and other media. France's Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau and employees of the anti-terrorist prosecutor's office were sent to the scene to assess the situation.
