Prosecutor: French Police Worker's Killer Watched Militant Videos Before Attack, 5th person detained
|
 [ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Tunisian national who killed a police administrative worker last Friday near Gay Paree had watched videos glorifying extremism just before carrying out his attack, said La Belle France's anti-terrorism prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard.
Ricard told a news conference on Sunday that the official investigation had shown that the assailant, identified as "Jamel G",
| ...a little late for such circumspection, after he was identified yesterday as Jamel Gorchene from M'saken, Tunisia, the hometown of Mohammed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who murdered 86 on Bastille Day in Nice in 2016 by driving a truck into the holiday crowd... |
looked at the videos on his phone just before his knife attack on the police worker, a mother-of-two called Stephanie.
Stephanie died from stab wounds, while 37-year-old Jamel G was subsequently rubbed out by police after the attack at a cop shoppe in Rambouillet, a commuter suburb south of Gay Paree.
French President Emmanuel Macron said last Friday, in reaction to the killing in Rambouillet, that La Belle France had again been the victim of a terrorist attack.
Ricard said La Belle France was working with Tunisian authorities in its probe into the Rambouillet attack. The Tunisian Embassy in Gay Paree condemned the attack, in a statement issued this weekend.
French authorities detained a fifth person Sunday in the anti-terrorism investigation seeking to identify potential accomplices and motives. Ricard said police are questioning a cousin of the suspect.
Jamel G. entered La Belle France illegally in 2009 and was given residency papers at the end of 2019, he added.
The suspect’s father, a couple who had provided him with an address for mail and other administration, and another cousin were also being questioned, Ricard says.
