Attacked Security Patrol With A Machete Shouting Allah Akbar,but Was Shot Dead by peteregwu(m): 1:56pm On Feb 03, 2017 |
A French soldier guarding the Louvre in Paris
has shot a man who tried to attack a security
patrol with a machete shouting "Allahu Akbar",
police say.
The man, who tried to gain entry to the Louvre's
shopping centre, was shot in the abdomen and
seriously injured.
One soldier sustained a slight head injury.
PM Bernard Cazeneuve said the attack was
"terrorist in nature". The Louvre is home to
numerous celebrated art works, including the
Mona Lisa.
The incident began at 10:00 local time (09:00 GMT)
in the Carrousel du Louvre shopping centre at
stairs leading to an entrance to the museum itself.
A patrol of four soldiers are reported to have
tried to subdue the assailant using non-lethal
force after he rushed at them.
When this failed and after one soldier was
injured, five shots were fired. The suspected
attacker was taken to hospital.
Two rucksacks belonging to the suspect, who
shouted "God is greatest" in Arabic, have been
inspected but no explosives were found. A second
person has been arrested.
Little is known about the main suspect, who is
reported to be in his 30s and without identity
papers.
Hundreds of visitors in the Louvre at the time
were evacuated gradually after security checks.
As the attack unfolded, they were told by security
staff to crouch on the floor.
France has been on a high state of alert since the
Paris attacks of 2015. Thousands of troops on the
streets form part of the stepped-up security
response. From BBC |
