Teacher killed and two others hurt in stabbing at French school

A man armed with a knife has killed a teacher and wounded another teacher and a security guard at a high school in northern France – an attack being investigated as potential terrorism.

They said they were investigating charges including terror-related murder and attempted murder against the suspect, who was arrested.A colleague and a fellow teacher identified the dead teacher as Dominique Bernard, a French language teacher at the school. Sliman Hamzi, a police officer who was one of the first on the scene said the suspected attacker, a former pupil at the school, shouted: “Allahu akbar”, or: “God is great”, in Arabic.

Mr Macron also said that police thwarted an “attempted attack” in another French region after the teacher’s fatal stabbing, but he did not provide details.The suspect was arrested, authorities said Julie Duhamel, an official with the the Unsa teachers’ union in the Pas-de-Calais region that includes Arras, told franceinfo that teachers had noted the suspect’s radicalisation “a few years ago”.Parents said pupils were still confined to the locked-down school more than two hours after the attack.

The attack came amid heightened tensions around the world over Hamas’ weekend attack on southern Israel and Israel’s military response, which have killed hundreds of civilians on both sides.
