Knife Attack in Mulhouse Leaves One Dead, Several Injured in Suspected Islamist Terror Incident

French authorities arrest Algerian man on terror watchlist after deadly stabbing near market; investigation underway.

A 69-year-old Portuguese man was killed, and several municipal police officers were injured, including two seriously, in a knife attack in Mulhouse, France.
The suspect, a 37-year-old Algerian man, reportedly shouted 'Allahu Akbar' during the attack and was apprehended at the scene.
The attacker was on a French terrorism prevention watchlist and had previously been convicted of glorifying terrorism; deportation efforts had failed due to Algeria's refusal to accept him.
President Emmanuel Macron condemned the incident as an 'Islamist terrorist act' and reaffirmed France’s commitment to combating terrorism.
France's national anti-terrorism prosecutor's office is leading the investigation, focusing on charges of murder and attempted murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise.
