(AFP) A staffer at Paris police headquarters who stabbed four colleagues to death seems to have adhered to “a radical vision of Islam,” anti-terror prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard said Saturday.
The assailant, a 45-year-old computer expert, had been in contact with members of the “Salafist Islamist movement,” Ricard told reporters.
The attacker “agreed with certain atrocities committed in the name of that religion” and defended the Charlie Hebdo attacks in 2015, Ricard said.
He had also changed his attire in recent months and wished to no longer “have certain kinds of contact with women.”
