Saturday night of terror in Paris.
A 26-year-old young man - born in France but of Syrian origins - attacked with a knife and a hammer shouting "Allah Akbar!" some tourists a short distance from the Eiffel Tower.
The outcome was tragic: a man of German nationality and Filipino origin was killed, while his partner and a man who intervened to defend them were injured.
The attacker - already known to the police and with psychiatric problems - was then stopped with a taser and arrested by the police.
He told the agents that he "couldn't stand any more of the Muslims dying in Afghanistan and Palestine."
Great condolences and condemnation for the episode were expressed by President Emmanuel Macron.
