French leader decries 'Islamist terror attack' against teacher who was beheaded

PARIS: A French teacher who had recently shown students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed was beheaded outside his school on Friday , in what President Emmanuel Macron called an"Islamist terrorist attack".

French anti-terror prosecutors said they were treating the assault as"a murder linked to a terrorist organisation." A parent of a pupil at the school said the teacher might have stirred"controversy" by asking Muslim pupils to leave the room before showing the cartoons. It was unclear whether the message, which contained a threat against Macron - described as"the leader of the infidels" - had been posted by the attacker, they said.

Police had arrived at the scene after receiving a call about a suspicious individual loitering near the school, a police source said.
