Federal prosecutor opens investigation after Paris knife attack

According to French investigators, a 26-year-old man attacked a small group of Filipino tourists with a hammer and a knife near the Eiffel Tower on Saturday evening. When a cab driver tried to intervene, he shouted "Allah is great".

A 23-year-old man, who has German and Filipino citizenship, succumbed to his injuries. The two other tourists, including the partner of the man who was killed, were physically unharmed but were in shock.

The 26-year-old is in police custody. As the French anti-terrorism prosecutor's office announced on Sunday evening, he declared his allegiance to the jihadist militia Islamic State (IS) in a video.

The French public prosecutor's office is now investigating him for murder with a terrorist background. Der Spiegel first reported on the investigations by the federal prosecutor's office.
