France will mobilise up to 7,000 soldiers to increase security around the country after a teacher was fatally stabbed and three other people wounded in a school attack by a former student suspected of Islamic radicalisation, the president’s office said.
The French government heightened the national threat alert, and President Emmanuel Macron ordered up to 7,000 soldiers deployed by Monday night and until further notice to bolster security and vigilance around France, his office said. “As adults, we are managing with difficulty to take a step back, but for them, they’re children,” said Emily Noge, arriving at the school with her sons and partner.
The suspect in the week’s attack had been under surveillance since the summer on suspicion of Islamic radicalisation, French intelligence services told the Associated Press.He was detained on Thursday for questioning based on the monitoring of his phone calls in recent days, but investigators found no sign that he was preparing an attack, interior minister Gerald Darmanin said.
The person killed in the attack was Dominique Bernard, a French language teacher at the Gambetta-Carnot school, which enrols students aged 11-18.
