The assailant who killed a 29-year-old man in a central Paris knife attack on Saturday night was a French citizen born in the Chechnya region of Russia in 1997, judicial sources said on Sunday. Earlier, Interior Minister Gerard Collomb told reporters the injured were out of danger. A source told Reuters the attacker was not previously known to police. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack via its Amaq news agency, but provided no proof for its claim. Authorities have not revealed the identity of the person killed in Saturday's attack, but the judicial source said he was a man aged 29.
