One woman was reportedly decapitated and two other people were stabbed to death on Thursday following a knife attack at a church in the French city of Nice that also left several others wounded, according to multiple reports.

The suspect, believed to be acting alone, was injured during his arrest and was taken to a local area hospital, police said.

An investigation was opened into an attack by the French anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office, reports said. Images on French media showed the neighborhood locked down and surrounded by police and emergency vehicles.

Prime Minister Jean Castex said the country's threat level will be raised to its maximum after the attack. He also told the French National Assembly that the government's response to the attack would be firm and implacable.

Busy day for terrorists.

...  A KNIFEMAN who reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” and threatened police has been shot dead in the French city of Avignon.

It comes as a Saudi man was arrested in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia after attacking a guard at the French consulate – just hours after a suspected terror attack in Nice left three people dead.

French radio station Europe1 reports that the Avignon suspect shouted “Allahu Akbar” before being fatally shot by French police officers at around 11.15am today in Montfavet, a district of the southeastern French city.

No other casualties were reported.

Meanwhile in Jeddah, the French embassy said the consulate was subject to “an attack by knife which targeted a guard”, The Independent reports.  ...

Not bad work by the police, but next time make sure he only gets the "Allahu..." out before blasting him.

France attack: Deadly stabbing in Nice 'is terrorism', says mayor

Three people have been killed in a knife attack at a church in the French city of Nice, police say.

Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said there had been a "terrorist attack at the heart of the Notre-Dame basilica".

One elderly victim who had come to pray was "virtually beheaded". A suspect was shot and detained shortly afterwards.

Mr Estrosi spoke of "Islamo-fascism" and said the suspect had "repeated endlessly 'Allahu Akbar' (God is greatest)." ...

Police have not suggested a motive for the attack in Nice. However, it follows days of protests in some Muslim-majority countries triggered by President Macron's defence of the publication of cartoons that depicted the Prophet Mohammed. There have been calls in some countries for a boycott of French goods.

Meanwhile, two further attacks took place on Thursday morning, one in France and one in Saudi Arabia.

A man was shot dead in Montfavet near Avignon after threatening police with a handgun. And a guard was attacked outside the French consulate in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. A suspect was arrested and the guard taken to hospital.  ...

Somehow, "boycott" became "behead."  :pondering:

3 Killed in Islamic Terror Attack at French Church
BY ALEXANDER ZHANG
October 29, 2020

Three people were killed by an attacker at a church in the French city of Nice on Thursday, in an incident the city’s mayor described as terrorism.

Mayor Christian Estrosi said on Twitter the knife attack had happened at the city’s Notre Dame church, and two of the victims died inside the church.

One elderly victim who had come to pray was “virtually beheaded,” he was quoted as saying.

The attacker shouted “Allahu akbar!” repeatedly as police apprehended him, the mayor told reporters, adding that “the meaning of his gesture left no doubt.”

“Enough is enough,” Estrosi said. “It’s time now for France to exonerate itself from the laws of peace in order to definitively wipe out Islamo-fascism from our territory.”

I love visiting France, but wouldn't dare do it again until they clamp down on the Islamoterrorists. Can you imagine being a tourist, "Oh, what a beautiful cathedral, let's walk inside ..." and the next (and last) thing you hear is "Allahu akbar"? Considering the role tourism plays in France's economy, Macron needs to wise up.

Gee, you'd think BLM would have something to say about this victim of the knife attack. I guess her life didn't matter:

... The third victim was named by the Brazilian foreign ministry as Simone Barreto Silva, a 44-year-old mother of three born in Salvador on Brazil's north-eastern coast. She had lived in France for 30 years.

She fled to a nearby cafe with multiple stab wounds but died shortly afterwards. "Tell my children that I love them," she told those who tried to help her, according to French media. ...
