A uniformed French soldier on anti-terrorist duties in Paris had his throat cut by a knife-wielding man tonight.
The savage attack follows the murder of a British soldier by two men using weapons including knives and a meat cleaver. One of the suspects said they were acting in the name of Islam.

Today there were fears that the Paris attack was a copy-cat crime and that a radical Muslim might once more be responsible.


Scene of the crime: The assault happened in France's busy commercial district La Defense, with the attacker fleeing into a busy shopping area

Police in the French capital described the attacker as a being 'bearded, of North African origin and wearing a light coloured jihab’ under a jacket.

He pounced on the soldier outside a Virgin store in La Defence, the business district of the city which was packed with Saturday afternoon shoppers.

The attack on a soldier in Paris was being treated as a 'terrorist incident', said a source at the Paris prosecutors office.
'The anti-terrorist branch of the prosecutors office is dealing with the matter,' the source added.

The 25-year-old soldier was knifed as a he patrolled around the suburban railway station for RER A service which links the French capital with the suburbs.
Pierre-Andre Peyvel, prefect of the Hauts-de-Seine district, said the soldier's wounds were 'serious enough'.


Shock: French President Francois Hollande has said that 'theories' must be explored as to why the attack happened

The soldier is currently at the nearby Percy hospital.

'Thousands of people were in the area at the time of the attack,' said Mr Peyvel. 'It would have been quite easy to blend into the crowd and then disappear.'

'The attack happened just after 6pm,’ said a police source. 'The soldier was stabbed repeatedly, most notably in the throat.
'The attacker ran away and the military are still looking for him, supported by the police. He is around 30 years old and of Arab appearance.

'The wounded soldier was taken to a local railway station for treatment and then on to hospital.’
The source said that the soldier’s life was not in danger, but he was 'badly hurt’.

The soldier is in France's 4th Cavalry regiment, which has served in Afghanistan and has been on standby to fight in Mali.
Highlighting the seriousness of the attack on the soldier in Paris, President Francois Hollande said 'we must look at all the theories' for it happening.

'We will not rule out any of them, we will look at all the elements' said Mr Hollande, clearly referring to the possibility that the attacker may have been motivated by what happened in London.

Mr Hollande, who is on a visit to Ethiopia, placed himself firmly at the centre of the war against terrorism earlier this year by sending troops into Mali, where Al-Qaeda backed rebels have been trying to take control.
Mr Hollande has warned that European streets will be far less safe if violent Islamists are given free rein in former French colonies, like Mali.

This has led to a huge backlash from terrorist groups, with numerous warnings that the French military, who are also fighting in Afghanistan, are legitimate targets

News of the death of British soldier Lee Rigby outside Woolwich Barracks, in south London, has dominated French media since it happened on Wednesday.


Panic: Fears grow in Paris that the attack on a soldier in La Defense is related to the Woolwich murder

France is considered a hotbed of radical Islamists, and the country’s Vigipirate anti-terrorist surveillance plan is currently in action.
Last year Mohammed Merah, a 23-year-old French-Algerian Islamist, murdered three French soldiers near the south west city of Toulouse during a killing spree which also claimed the lives of four civilians.

Merah himself was later shot dead by police but made it clear that he had also committed the murders in the name of Islam.
It later emerged that Merah had links with terrorists groups all over the world, including ones in London.

the report claims michael was arrested in kenya in 2010 while trying to get into somalia. he was tortured and possibly räped and that got him over the edge - his brother in law confirmed that too.

the anti-terrorist official in lagos told the UK reporter that they should do something to the radicalisation of nigerians in the UK. he said this is the 2nd time a nigerian based in london would be linked to terrorism....

i would post the link when it hits youtube....

the company he keeps, his immediate environment, etc those factors are more important than having a PhD holder dad and a havard-graduate mum.

What kind of world do we live in ?

The local black population is probably chuckling. Africans look down on the local blacks, thinking they are are better off. They forget that they will one day have children, and those children will be raised in the same environment that made local blacks angry and useless. Its annoying to realize how reactionary and utterly clueless Africans are, thinking that by reason of your own success, you will somehow, by magic save your kids from the environment you have chosen. Lets leave aside the crazy Michaels.....do you know how many countless kids of immigrant Nigerians, second generation and up are so useless it would have been better their parents lever left Nigeria to start with?


If your child starts acting up, send him him home until he is past his teenage years. He will come back fully appreciative of the opportunity, instead of getting exposed to poisonous racism and self hate.
