This Sh** ever going to stop?.
A policeman and his wife were killed in a frenzied knife attack at their home in a Paris suburb on Monday night by a man who reportedly shouted “Allahu Akhbar”.
The man had been sentenced in 2013 for taking part in a jihadist organisation with links to Pakistan, press agency AFP reported on Tuesday.
They identified him as Larossi Abballa, 25, adding that he had been sentenced to a three-year term - six months of which were suspended - for "criminal association with the aim of preparing terrorist acts," in a trial with seven other defendants.
French police sources also said that Abballa was part of a recent investigation into a Syria jihadist network and had pledged allegiance to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).
French President Francois Hollande said that the stabbing attack was "incontestably a terrorist act" and that France was facing a terror threat "of a very large scale."
"France is not the only country concerned (by the terrorist threat), as we have seen, again, in the United States, in Orlando," he said.
