Paris Stabbing Suspect Swore Allegiance to ISIS

French Interior Minister Calls for Greater Psychiatric Control of Radicals as Security Concerns Rise Ahead of 2024 Olympics

Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, a French national born to Iranian parents, is accused of fatally stabbing a German tourist and injuring two others near the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Rajabpour-Miyandoab recorded a video before the attack swearing allegiance to the Islamic State group and expressing support for Islamic extremists in various areas around the world.
Rajabpour-Miyandoab had a history of mental illness and Islamic radicalization, and was under surveillance by French intelligence services.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has called for greater powers to force psychiatric treatment on people in such cases, stating that around one-third of suspected radicals under surveillance have psychiatric issues.
The attack has raised concerns about security in Paris ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, with Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra insisting that France is capable of safeguarding the opening festivities.
