(Jerusalem Post) The Algerian Islamist terrorist who murdered one and wounded several more people in Mulhouse, France, on Saturday had been arrested and convicted for promoting terrorism in the wake of the October 7 massacre, according to French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau.
“In 2023, he was arrested a few weeks after the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, and convicted for promoting terrorism,” Retailleau said on X/Twitter on Sunday.
Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France president Yonathan Arfi said Islamism was an ideology not limited to national borders and support for Hamas was leading to the establishment of international jihadist radicalism.
“It is a threat to all democracies,” said Arfi on social media.
