A knife-wielding suspect who slashed five people, killing one, in central Paris on Saturday night -- before being slain by French authorities -- has been identified as a native of Chechnya, born in 1997, a French judicial official said. The parents of the suspect, who was claimed as a “soldier” of ISIS after the attack, have been detained for questioning, the official said. The Islamic State group, through its affiliated news agency, claimed responsibility for the knife attack, which left a 29-year-old man dead and four others injured. A friend came to her aid and the attacker left, "hitting on all the doors, all the shops," the witness told BFM. Paris has been under elevated security in recent years after a string of deadly Islamic extremist attacks.
