[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Syrian refugee screamed 'in the name of Jesus Christ' as he repeatedly stabbed a toddler in his pram in front of his screaming mother in a frenzied attack at a French playground that saw four children knifed.
The attacker, identified as Abdalmash H,
...which sounds more Moslem than Christian...
Update at 9:59 p.m. ET: this apparently means slave of the Messiah, so it’s just an Arabic formation rather than a Moslem one... |
31, clinched onto a necklace with a crucifix on it before he launched his 'abominable' rampage in a lakeside park in the town of Annecy, a tourist hotspot in southeastern France, at around 9.45am.
A total of six people - four young children and two adults - were rushed to hospital after being hurt in the rampage, some of whom are fighting for their lives tonight.
French officials say the attack does not appear to be related to terrorism, but revealed the suspect had recently been denied Swedish citizenship and split up from his wife.
Abdalmash H, who was recently divorced, had previously lived for 10 years in Sweden where he was granted refugee status in April, security sources and his ex-wife said.
'He called me around four months ago. He was living in a church,' his ex-wife said on condition of anonymity, saying he had left Sweden because he had been unable to get Swedish nationality.
He had applied for asylum in France but was rejected four days before launching his barbaric attack due to him already having refugee status in Sweden.
France's Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, who travelled to Annecy, said Abdalmash H is a Syrian national who had been granted asylum in Sweden ten years ago. At the time of his application, he stated he was a Syrian Christian.
He had entered France legally, Borne said, and was carrying Swedish identity documents and a Swedish driving license.
He was not known to security agencies and has no criminal or psychiatric record, Borne said.
The local prosecutor leading the investigation said man's motives were unknown but did not appear to be terrorism-related. He is under investigation for attempted murder.
Abdalmash H had applied for asylum in France in November last year but police sources said his application was rejected four days ago on the grounds that he already had refugee status in Sweden.
France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the suspect entered France legally, adding: 'For some reasons we don't really understand, he applied for asylum in Switzerland, in Italy and in France, which he didn't need to do as he already had asylum in Sweden for the past 10 years.’
