France will mobilize up to 7,000 soldiers to increase security around the country after a teacher was fatally stabbed and three other people wounded in a school attack.

France will mobilize up to 7,000 soldiers to increase security around the country after a teacher was fatally stabbed and three other people wounded in a school attack by a former student suspected of Islamic radicalization, the president’s office said Saturday.

Some schoolchildren, parents and personnel returned to the Gambetta-Carnot school in the northern city of Arras as it reopened Saturday morning to reconnect and seek support, after the attack Friday that rattled France in a context of global tensions over the Israel-Hamas war.

Counterterrorism authorities are investigating the stabbing, and the suspected assailant and several others are in custody, prosecutors said. The suspect had been under recent surveillance by intelligence services for radicalization. Court documents viewed by The Associated Press show he is from the Ingushetia region in Russia’s Caucasus Mountains, which neighbors Chechnya. Authorities had initially identified him as Chechen.

    mobilizing thousands of soldiers against your own citizens immediately after illegalising demonstrating against genocide is a very normal thing to do

      It is funny that everywhere it is almost always Muslims that do terror, but many people always protect them.

      Call terrorists as terrorists even when they are religion of piss followers. It is not bigotry or Islamophobia.

        of course not, calling nearly a quarter of humanity “terrorists” for the actions of less than a percentage of them is entirely normal, rational behaviour

      Isn’t it just fascinating where you’ve decided to draw your circle?

      The vast majority of terrorism is far-right, either white supremacist of Muslim extremist. But do you draw a line around the far right? Nope.

      Those terrorist acts are almost exclusively carried out by men, especially outside the middle east. But do you draw a line around men? Nope.

      Instead, you draw a line that includes billions of innocent people because even though it’s not as accurate, it doesn’t include you.
