French history teacher beheaded after showing class Mohammed cartoons

















On Friday afternoon, a young man of Chechen origin Abdoullakh A, born in 2002, beheaded a French history teacher in public in broad daylight. The attacker was shot dead by the police in Eragny, France. The anti-terrorism prosecution has taken over the investigation.

Three weeks to the day after the terrorist attack in front of the former premises of Charlie Hebdo, which left two seriously injured, a teacher was beheaded with a knife by a Muslim believer who shouted Allah Akbar.
