Mulhouse Market Attack Leaves One Dead and Seven Injured, Suspect in Custody
French authorities label the attack as an Islamist terror act; suspect is a deportation-resistant Algerian with prior convictions and mental health issues.
- A 37-year-old Algerian man attacked people near a market in Mulhouse, France, killing a 69-year-old Portuguese man and injuring seven others, including five police officers and two city employees.
- The suspect, armed with a knife and screwdriver, reportedly shouted 'Allahu Akbar' during the attack and was subdued by police ten minutes after it began.
- The French Anti-Terror Prosecutor's Office is investigating the case as an act of terrorism, with charges of murder and attempted murder linked to terrorism.
- The suspect, previously convicted of terrorism glorification and flagged in a counter-terrorism database, was under house arrest due to failed deportation attempts to Algeria, which refused to accept him.
- French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has called for stricter immigration and deportation policies, including indefinite detention for dangerous individuals awaiting deportation.
