(Reuters) Europe is seeing a rise of “Islamist terrorism” and all states are threatened, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday during a visit to Albania, after Islamist killings of a teacher in France and two Swedish football fans in Belgium.
Macron spoke a day after a 45-year-old attacker, who identified himself as a member of Islamic State and claimed responsibility in a video posted online, killed the two [Swedish] fans in Brussels.
In Paris, a French anti-terrorism prosecutor said on Tuesday a 20-year-old man who fatally stabbed the schoolteacher and wounded three others in the northern city of Arras on Oct. 13 had pledged allegiance to Islamic State.
