French President Emmanuel Macron ordered a review of all foreign immigrants with ties to radical extremism for possible expulsion from the country following a terrorist attack.
French President Emmanuel Macron is reportedly requesting a review of all foreign immigrants with ties to radical extremists for possible deportation after the murder of a French teacher by an Islamic terrorist. Three days after a teacher was murdered by a Chechen immigrant on France's extremist watchlist with a knife shouting 'Allahu Akbar!,' the country has raised its anti-terrorism alert to the highest levels, according to a report in Euronews.
Macron said during a Friday news briefing that police stopped a second attempted attack after the fatal stabbing of the teacher, which he said shows 'the barbarism of Islamic terrorism.' The 20-year-old suspect was already on a terror watchlist, according to AFP, which cited a police source who said he shouted the Arabic phrase 'Allahu Akbar!' during the attack.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has reportedly also instructed authorities to pay particular attention to young people from the Caucasus. The government has said it is not trying to stigmatize any community, but both the attacker who killed the teacher Friday and the murderer of Samuel Paty — a teacher beheaded by an Islamist three years ago — were from that region.
The announcement follows reports of French police using teargas to break up a banned pro-Hamas rally in Paris on Thursday, as Macron urged the French to refrain from bringing the Israel-Hamas conflict to their borders. 'This event is an earthquake for Israel, the Middle East and beyond,' Macron said, according to a Reuters report. 'Let's not pursue at home ideological adventures by imitating or projecting.
