Teacher decapitated in France in suspected terror attack
French anti-terror prosecutors said on Friday they were investigating an assault in which a history teacher, who had recently shown caricatures of Prophet Mohammed in class was decapitated on the outskirts of Paris. His attacker died after being shot by police.
French anti-terror prosecutors said they were investigating the assault which happened on the outskirts of Paris at around 5pm near a school in Conflans Saint-Honorine, a western suburb of the French capital in the département of Yvelines.
According to a police source, the victim was a history teacher who recently discussed caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed in class.
Prosecutors said they were treating the incident as "a murder linked to a terrorist organisation" and related to a "criminal association with terrorists".
The allegations are similar to charges brought last month against a 25-year old Pakistani man who wounded two people in a meat cleaver attack to avenge the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed by the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.
