Police officers work at the scene of the knife attack near Bir Hakeim bridge in Paris on Sunday. PAOLONI JEREMY/NEWSCOMFrench President Emmanuel Macron says anti-terror authorities are investigating an attack near the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Saturday night that left a 23-year-old German-Fillipino tourist dead and two others, a 60-year-old French national and a 66-year-old Briton, injured. Prosecutors later named him as Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, a French national born in 1997 to Iranian parents. When arrested, he also reportedly told police that France was being "an accomplice to what Israel is doing" in the conflict in Gaza. "We will cede nothing in the face of terrorism," added France's Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne.
