France Knife Attack – level 2
14-04-2020 07:00
On Saturday, a French man attacked people at a shopping mall in the southeast of France. The man used a knife, and he killed two people.
He injured five other people. The police arrested him near the shopping mall, and when they were arresting him, the man was praying in Arabic.
French authorities did not say the name of the man; however, they said that the man was from Sudan and he was 33 years old. Police searched his home, and they found some religious documents. The documents said that France is a country of unbelievers.
French authorities believe that the man acted alone and that he does not belong to any terrorist organizations.
Difficult words: pray (to speak to God), unbeliever (a person who does not believe in God), act (to do something).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
