Another terrorist act in France
The attack on a policeman and his partner by a man claiming allegiance to so-called Islamic State is a "terrorist act", France's interior minister says. The man stabbed the officer to death and took a woman and child hostage in their home in Magnanville, near Paris, before being killed by police. The partner was found dead but the child was rescued. French media say the attacker had been sentenced in 2013 for involvement with jihadist groups with links to Pakistan. Unnamed sources identified him as 25-year-old Larossi Abballa, who lived in nearby Mantes-La-Jolie and was convicted for "criminal association with the aim of preparing terrorist acts". More here
