Three dead, several injured after knife attack at Nice church, French police say

An attacker with a knife has killed three people and wounded several others at a church in the French city of Nice, according to French police, in an incident the city's mayor has described as terrorism.The French anti-terrorist prosecutor's department has been asked to investigateMayor Christian Estrosi said on Twitter the knife attack had happened in or near the city's Notre Dame church and that police had detained the attacker.

The man suspected of carrying out the fatal knife attack kept shouting "Allahu Akbar" even after he had been arrested by police, Mr Estrosi told reporters.He was believed to be acting alone, the official added. The official was not authorised to be publicly named."The suspected knife attacker was shot by police while being detained, he is on his way to hospital, he is alive," he told reporters.

Reuters journalists at the scene said police armed with automatic weapons had put up a security cordon around the church, which is on Nice's Jean Medecin avenue, the city's main shopping thoroughfare. Ambulances and fire service vehicles were also at the scene.The lower house of Parliament suspended a debate on new virus restrictions and held a moment of silence for the victims.

A knife is an inanimate object; it cannot attack anyone or anything. It was wielded by an Islamic terrorist.

Yep it was a Muslim Jihadi

France has had too many terror attacks UK had many too The root is muslim extremism For decades they have allowed uncontrolled muslim migration now they r suffering With a small minority it is easy to keep them in check When they become millions then disaster

The knife didn’t hack a 70 yr old woman’s head off her body. For Gods sake we need to PrivatiseTheirABC

Brainwashed

In a world where media will embellish the truth of any story to gain attention, why would they play down calling this what it really is.

An expansionist ideology beheading people🤔 Why don't you just report the truth? Are you woke weasels?

”Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has stoked anger in Europe for saying Muslims 'have a right to kill millions of French people' just hours after a terrorist beheaded an elderly worshipper and stabbed two others to death....”

Knife attack An elderly lady beheaded in the name of Allah!! Report the truth

i wonder who would do such a thing,

Call it like it is, an Islamic attack, the religion of peace

Pathetic ABC reporting as always, defund the ABC

He yelled out Allah Akbar, call it what it is ffs

With a shake of the dead palm tree branch a resistant few have passed. A gray day indeed.

But based on the duration of the attack, remember it was a mostly peaceful beheading

How many deaths will it take?

People are losing their heads over Islamist immigration in France. And they definitely don’t eat cake.

Muslim again ?

Terrorist*

Religion, what a hoot! *Sky friends

nothing to do with islam of course

This barbarity has nothing to do with religion..... it’s a vile gutless act committed by an animal ...... a pathetic, putrid animal. 🙏🏼 Nice France

There is no need beating around the bush, while we agree that there are muslims that are not extremist. The religion Islam supports and sponsors extremist and radical behaviors in the name of holy war.The proves are undeniable.

More accurately another barbaric beheading by a scum bag in France.

Time to tell the truth, ABC!! At least two are reported to have been beheaded! 😡😡😡

But apparently the extreme right wingers are the real danger to society. Nothing to do with fanatical islamists.

Are the Amish acting up again?

Two beheadings and it's labelled as a knife attack 🙄

What happened to terrorism?

Yeah.. the knife came and attacked people. How cute! Blame the knife!

Terrible!!

No one should fear to worship. This is awful. Islamic extremist are not the same as all Muslims, but avoiding the subject will not just make the continuous issue disappear. The Muslim community needs to finish this once & for all from within.

I wonder if it was a 'White Supremist', whether the headline would be 'Knife Attack' .....

why are there so many people in one place anyway? Don't they have distancing? That should be the new rule to avoid multi-knife attacks. France is a hotbed for knife attacks.

lying by omission again..

Racists are very happy about this.

If these people are killing innocents over a bunch of cartoons, they really need to get their heads checked.

This is nuts

The only way to describe the perpetrators that behave in this despicable, barbaric way is to refer to them as scum and animals not fit to belong to the human race.

Religion of tolerance strikes again 😪.

More cultural enrichers making themselves at home.

*terrorist attack
