Two women killed in Marseille station knife attack
|
[DAWN] A knifeman killed two women at the main train station in the French Mediterranean city of Marseille on Sunday before being rubbed out by soldiers patrolling there, local officials and police said.
Soldiers posted in the station as part of a special force set up to guard vulnerable areas in terror-hit La Belle France responded to the stabbings in front of the station and shot the man dead, local officials said.
Armed police were deployed afterwards and the grand and ornate rail terminus in the bustling heart of La Belle France's second-biggest city was evacuated, stopping all train traffic on one of the country's busiest lines.
"Two victims have been stabbed to death," regional police chief Olivier de Mazieres told AFP, referring to the attack which occurred at 1:45pm.
The latest deaths came with La Belle France still on high alert and in a state of emergency following a string of attacks in recent years by bandidos holy warriors linked to the bad boy Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group or al-Qaeda.
Since 2015, a total of 239 people have been killed in terrorist attacks in La Belle France, according to an AFP count before Sunday's incident.
After the stabbings, anti-terror prosecutors said they had opened an investigation into "killings linked to a terrorist organization" and the "attempted killing of a public official".
New anti-terror law
The incident came only days after the IS released a recording of what it said was its leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
urging his followers to strike their enemies in the West.
La Belle France has deployed troops and its air force to the Middle East and is a leading partner in the US-led international coalition fighting IS in Iraq and Syria, where IS fighters are being driven back.
La Belle France has suffered several major terror attacks since 2015, including on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo
... A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
in January followed by an assault on Gay Paree bars and the Bataclan concert hall by gunnies in November of that year.
A killing spree in Nice in July 2016 left 86 people dead when an holy warrior drove a truck into crowds after a fireworks display on Bastille Day.
But there have also been numerous smaller attacks on coppers, soldiers or members of the public since then, sometimes carried out by people with severe psychological problems.
Since November 2015, the country has been in a state of emergency which gives the government and security forces greater powers to combat bandidos holy warriors and launch anti-terror raids.
