A Paris court on Thursday sentenced a jihadist to 30 years in prison over his February 2015 knife attack on three soldiers guarding a Jewish center in the Mediterranean city of Nice.

Moussa Coulibaly, now 35, staged his assault just weeks after the killing of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper offices in Paris, the beginning of a wave of assaults carried out in the name of the Islamic State and other jihadist groups.

They found “an almost fanatical determination” to apply IS calls for French citizens to carry out terror attacks on home soil. A few weeks earlier, French intelligence services had been alerted to the fact that he was trying to enter Turkey — a key staging point for jihadists seeking to go fight in Syria — and asked the country to expel him.
