Police Shoot Dead Armed Terrorist Yelling Allahu Akbar! French police on Saturday shot dead a man shouting Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) who stabbed and wounded three officers in a police station, authorities said. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who rushed to the scene, said the man was killed after he attacked the policemen with a knife in a station in Joue-les-Tours, a suburb of the city of Tours in central France. Cazeneuve confirmed the attacker had shouted Allahu Akbar during the attack, which he said was extremely violent. The counter-terrorism section of the Public Prosecutors office has opened a probe for attempted murder and criminal conspiracy in connection with a terrorist organization, the Paris Prosecutors office said. There are grounds to probe whether he acted alone, whether he followed orders, or whether it was a mindless action, Public Prosecutor Jean-Luc Beck told BFM-TV. The man was known to police for common crimes but was not on any watch list of the French intelligence services, Cazeneuve said, adding: The probe is only starting. The three wounded officers were hospitalized but were out of danger, he added. NBC News Do the world powers need to take ISIS more seriously?
