TEHRAN, May 13 - An knife attacker killed one person and wounded four others on the streets of Paris Saturday evening before being shot dead by police.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) – Shortly before 9pm (1900 GMT) a knife-wielding attacker struck close to Place de L'Opera, an area of central Paris, an area full of bars and restaurants.
According to sources the man attacked random people in the street. The dead victim was a man in his 30s. A 34-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman were seriously wounded and rushed to hospital.
A 26-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man were slightly wounded.
The Daesh terrorist group has claimed responsibility for a deadly knife attack in Paris in which one person was killed and at least four more were injured.
The killing comes as France is under a constant threat of terrorism. A string of Takfiri attacks have claimed the lives of over 245 people around France in the past three years.
Nearly 120 people were killed on November 13, 2015 after being held hostage by gunmen at the Bataclan concert hall in central Paris. Scores of people were reportedly killed in other attacks across Paris, for which the Takfiri group of Daesh claimed responsibility.
