According to Reuters, one person was killed and four others injured in a Knife attack in Paris yesterday;
An assailant shouting “Allah Akbar” killed a passer-by in a knife attack that also wounded four others in the heart of Paris late on Saturday before he was shot dead by police, French authorities said.
French prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters the police’s anti-terrorism unit would launch an investigation, given the aggressor’s “mode of operation.”
French President Emmanuel Macron praised officers for “neutralizing the terrorist.” France “will not yield an inch to the enemies of freedom,” Macron said on Twitter.
According to Sky News, the assailant was on a terror watch list;
An Islamic State “soldier” who stabbed a man to death and injured four others in an attack in Paris was on an anti-terror watchlist of suspected extremists, it has emerged.
Police in the French capital have launched a terror investigation following the attack on Saturday night, which was carried out by a 21-year-old man who was born in the Russian republic of Chechnya, where Islamic extremism has long simmered.
The suspect, believed to be a French citizen, was on the so-called “S file” of people suspected of radicalised views who could pose a threat to national security, sources said.
BBC says that he was born in Chechnya;
The suspect in a deadly knife attack in central Paris on Saturday evening is a French citizen born in 1997 in Russia’s republic of Chechnya, sources say.

Police shot dead the attacker in the busy Opéra district after he killed a man and injured four other people.
The Islamic State (IS) group said it was behind the attack.

One dead in California knife attack.
Who gives a shit “what triggered the guys attack”, as the authorities put it? Fuck him! He killed a man for no reason whatsoever. They should have taken him out in the surf and drowned his sorry ass.
This is just the latest publicized example of the facilitation and accommodation of the homeless and illegal scum by the authorities in the Peoples’ Republic of Commiefornia. They want to spend over 100 million on further enabling dangerous homeless scum.
Damned if I’ll ever visit France again…just returned from three weeks in Italy and security was really tight…any major transportation hub or tourist venue we encountered had military augmenting police for security…serious looking soldiers with impressive weaponry…the unexpected downside was these same places were mobbed by what I presumed to be African migrants…we were under fairly constant harassment.
Yes, a lot of the migrants are coming to Italy from Sicily, which doesn’t want them because they trash the place and Sicilians are tired of it.
In addition, the head of an anti-immigration group is accusing a of anti-fascists of beating him up and leaving him tied up.

“… was on an anti-terror watchlist of suspected extremists…”
Instead of a “watchlist,” how about a “deport now” list, and get rid of these meltdowns before they get their jihad on, hmmmm?
Thank you AW1Ed! You can watch their asses all you want, but if they are not behind bars of out of the country, then they will do as they please. They have shown time and again, that being on someone’s watch list in Europe is about as worthwhile for the safety of the citizens, as last weeks coupons at this weeks sale.
As the old saying goes….”kill ’em all and let God sort them out!”
The French should initiate a Phoenix program like the one the CIA used in Viet Nam. Just ship them a couple of cases of High Standard .22’S equipped with suppressors.
LiRight; did you get a chance to check out Bob Horan?
Yeah, that’s a damn good idea. Deport to the middle of the Pacific by air and drop. It is amazing how many of these murdering bastards are on “watch lists” with no one watching. It also amazes me how eager the gov’ts are to let the world know this SOB or that one was on a list–as if it’s to the gov’t’s credit.
I thought the EU had knife control?
Only “assault” knives and that is primarily in Londonistan. Although the Lord Mayor of that lost cause mostly concerned about fast food ads on the public transport system.
I saw Kahn had gone full potato about fast food ads on public trans and not about no-go zones.
At what point does this idiot merit comparison to Nero and his fiddle?
As the left constantly points out, any gun/knife/car/van/_________ can be an assault weapon. I guess Mayor Khan has added assault Big Macs to the list.
I’m more concerned about his leftist ego getting out of control than any thing you’ve listed but I know facts like leftist governments have used famine to kill hundreds of millions of their own citizens.
The only way to get these dudes to ‘self deport’ is to have frequent draw Muhammad contests with armed security.
Problem solved, problem staying solved.
Pulling out of ISAF and Afghanistan to appease them didn’t work.
I have a theory that islamists just *might* want to “cast terror into the hearts of [us] infidels. Strike off [our] heads, strike off the very tips of [our] fingers”.
I’m still going through the resource material as translated into English, which it turns out is considered ‘haram’ and worthy of having me killed…
Religion of peace indeed.
On the upside, tomorrow our embassy opens in Jerusalem on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the modern Jewish state. I’m thinking that a whole bunch of a certain people will insist on being perforated by IDF.
Good times.
-this- year in Jerusalem.

‘born in Chechnya’
Same Chechen faithful who attacked Beslan School in 2004 butchering several hundred, most were children…and later brought it to our shores during the Boston marathon.
He police tased him and it didn’t stop him, so they eventually had to shoot him with a gun. Imagine that a gun stopping scum…Read that again. The police showed up to an Islamists stabbing people to death and decided non lethal should be used.
That sums up the stupidity that rules Europe now.
Of course they used less than lethal!
It wasn’t his fault, ya know. He just needed time to calm down about that movie that was critical about islam, then they could give him education and a job.
You just don’t understand with all that first world privilege you’ve got.
He yelled “Aloha Snackbar” while doing it, that has Amish Anarchist written all over it! Gee whiz, France has all kinds of Gun Control Laws, ain’t that supposed to be a panacea for violent crime? I mean, it works so well in Chicago and Baltimore among other places!
It has also been very effective in ending all crime in not so Great Britain and in deterring knife and vehicle assaults.
May piss be upon him.
My granddaughter is going to Paris (against my wishes)with her high school orchestra, next year. I won’t get much sleep the whole time she is over there,
Thank GOD he ONLY had a knife to STAB people to death with ! !
Now they need to connect with England and work on “Knife Control” for a safer France!
