Police say a French man shouting the Arabic phrase ‘‘Allahu akbar’’ stabbed a British woman to death and wounded two men in an attack at a hostel in northeast Australia. Queensland Police Service Deputy Commission­er Steve Gollschews­ki said yesterday that the 29-year-old suspect did not have any known links to Islamic State. The attack took place on Tuesday at a hostel in Home Hill, north Queensland. Police say a 21-year-old British woman was found dead at the scene and a 30-year-old British man was in critical condition.
