Two killed in suspected terror attack

TWO people were stabbed to death yesterday in a suspected terrorist attack in a small French town.

A man was arrested minutes after the knife attack, in which four other people were injured in the southern town of Romans-sur-Isère.

Prosecutors said the suspect is a Sudanese asylum seeker, 33, who was not previously known to police.

Witnesses said the assailant shouted: “Allahu akbar.”

David Olivier Reverdy, a police union spokesman, said: “This appears to have all the elements of a terrorist attack. The investigation will confirm whether that is the case.”

The attack began in a tobacconist’s before the assailant went outside and stabbed passers-by in the street.
