On Saturday, May 12, 2018, A knife-wielding Islamic terrorist named Khamzat Azimov shouting 'Allahu Akbar' went on a stabbing rampage; killing one & injuring four before being shot dead by police in Rue Monsigny, Paris, France.

The incident happened just before 9pm on Saturday evening in Rue Monsigny in the French capital's second arrondissement where Paris's opera & landmark retail stores are located.

Police shot the attacker dead after opening fire on him while he was on the ground suffering from cardiac arrest.

Prosecutor Francois Molins said counter-terrorism authorities were leading the investigation on potential charges of murder & attempted murder in connection with terrorist motives.

“At this stage, based on the one hand on the account of witnesses who said the attacker cried ‘Allahu akbar’ (God is great in Arabic) while attacking passersby with a knife, & given the modus operandi, we have turned this over to the counter-terrorist section of the Paris prosecutor’s office,” Mr Molins told reporters from the scene.

Counter-terrorism authorities took charge of the investigation, & President Emmanuel Macron vowed that France would not bow to extremists despite being the target of multiple deadly attacks in recent years, French President Emmanuel Macron said France has "once again paid the price of blood."

The Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group claimed the attacker as one of its “soldiers.”

The Paris knife-attacker has been named as Khamzat Azimov, he is a French national, he was born in 1997 in Chechnya, Russia, he had no criminal record; but another source close to the investigation said he was categorised as "fiche S," an indication used by law enforcement officials to flag people who may be a threat to national security, his parents are being questioned by investigators.
