TheThe suspected Tunisian assailant in an Islamic extremist knife attack that killed three people in a French church had a photograph in one of his mobile phones of the perpetrator of another attack that shocked France: the killing of a schoolteacher who was beheaded after he showed caricatures of the prophet Mohammed to his class, anti-terror prosecutors said on Friday, reports the South China Morning Post.
Also found in the phones of the 21-year-old arrested after the October 29 church attack in Nice was an audio message that described France as a “country of unbelievers” and photos relating to Islamic State, the national anti-terror prosecutors’ office said.
The prosecutors’ office said one of the photos showed Abdoullakh Anzorov, the Chechen refugee identified as the killer of teacher Samuel Paty. Paty was beheaded Oct. 16 outside his Paris-region school after showing caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed during a class debate on free expression.
