Macron condemns 'barbarity of Islamist terrorism' after teacher killed in school stabbing

A man of Chechen origin who was under surveillance by French security services over suspected Islamic radicalisation has stabbed a teacher to death at his former high school and wounded three other people.

Mr Macron said a second attack had been foiled elsewhere in France by security forces on Friday, but did not give details.The suspected attacker, Mohammed Moguchkov, who is in his 20s, has been arrested by police but was reportedly refusing to speak to investigators. "There was a race against the clock. But there was no threat, no weapon, no indication. We did our our job seriously," Mr Darmanin said on TF1 television.

The school went into lockdown, and some children were held inside classrooms for hours while distraught parents gathered outside.
