(AFP) French police arrested three people linked to a 36-year-old Tunisian man who stabbed to death a police employee at her workplace southwest of Paris on Friday in a suspected Islamist attack.
The murder at a police station in Rambouillet, a commuter town about 60 kilometres (40 miles) from Paris, revived the trauma of a spate of deadly attacks last year.
The victim was a 49-year-old woman named as Stephanie, a police administrative assistant and mother-of-two, who was stabbed twice in the throat at the entrance of the station. Her attacker was shot dead.
President Emmanuel Macron, who was out of the country on a visit to Chad in northern Africa, tweeted that France would never give in to “Islamist terrorism.”
