Police in La Grand-Combe, southern France, are searching for a suspect involved in the stabbing murder of a Muslim worshipper inside a mosque. The attacker, described as a man in his 20s and identified as a French citizen of Bosnian origin, may have committed the act as a hate crime, reportedly shouting insults against Allah during the attack. The victim, who was highly regarded locally and had recently immigrated from Mali, was stabbed multiple times and filmed by the attacker. French authorities are considering if anti-terror prosecutors should take over the case, amidst widespread shock and condemnation.
The suspect, a French citizen of Bosnian origin, allegedly shouted insults against Allah while attacking the victim, who was well-known in the village.
The French Prime Minister condemned the stabbing, labeling it an "Islamophobic atrocity," and emphasized the need for solidarity with the victim's community.
