France - Residents call for solidarity after deadly 'Islamist terror attack' in eastern France

Residents in the eastern French city of Mulhouse on Sunday (February 23) called for solidarity the morning after a knife attack killed one. French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday (February 22) the attack, which also injured three was "Islamist terrorism," after France's anti-terrorism prosecutor's office confirmed it was investigating the case. A man attacked local police officers in the city of Mulhouse shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest") on Saturday afternoon, the PNAT prosecutor's office said in a statement. A passer-by was killed trying to intervene, while three police officers were injured, the prosecutor's office added. The suspect has been arrested, the prosecutor's office said.
