PARIS: An attacker crying "Allahu Akbar" killed one person and wounded four others on the streets of Paris Saturday evening before being shot dead by police. Two witnesses and a judicial source said the man was shouting "Allahu Akbar (God is greatest) during the attack. Many described scenes of panic as Parisians realised a potential terror attack was underway in a city that has been hit by multiple deadly jihadist assaults in recent years. He said a young man tried to fend off the attacker who then fled. Authorities are treating the attack as terror related, primarily because witnesses described him shouting "Allahu akbar", a refrain commonly used by violent jihadists when carrying out attacks.
