Knife Attack in Mulhouse Declared Terrorist Act by French Authorities
A 37-year-old Algerian national fatally stabbed one person and injured five police officers in Mulhouse; the suspect was known to authorities for prior convictions and radicalization concerns.
- The attack occurred near a bustling market in Mulhouse on Saturday afternoon, leaving a 69-year-old man dead and five police officers injured, two critically.
- The suspect, Brahim A., shouted 'Allah Akbar' during the attack and has been linked to prior convictions for promoting terrorism and was flagged in the FSPRT, a French counter-radicalization database.
- Authorities confirmed that the suspect was under an obligation to leave France (OQTF), but Algeria had repeatedly refused to issue necessary documents for his deportation.
- President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister François Bayrou labeled the incident a terrorist act, with the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office opening an investigation.
- The attack has reignited debates over deportation policies and legal frameworks for handling individuals flagged as security threats but unable to be expelled.
