Merci à nos policiers municipaux qui ont interpellé l'auteur d'une attaque à l'arme blanche dans le secteur Notre Dame à #Nice06. Je demande aux Niçois d'éviter le secteur pour laisser la police et les secours travailler. @pmdenice

Issuing a statement in this regard, the Mayor condemned Islamofascism which he said had attacked the innocent parishioners, and sent out condolences to the family members of the victims of this barbaric act. As per his statement, the terrorist act took place either in or near the iconic Notre Dame de Nice church and he deemed it an attack on the entire Christian world. Estrosi said “Enough is enough. It’s time now for France to exonerate itself from the laws of peace in order to definitively wipe out Islamo-fascism from our territory.”
#Nice06 est une nouvelle fois touchée dans son coeur par l'islamofascisme que je ne cesse de dénoncer.
J'adresse tout mon soutien et toute ma compassion aux familles des victimes de ce barbare.
Je veux remercier les forces de l'ordre mobilisées et particulièrement la @PMdeNice pic.twitter.com/zgm4UPi1sR

According to reports, the terrorist has been shot by the police when they attempted to detain him. He is alive and has been taken to the hospital.
France which opened its doors to Islamic immigrants not so long ago has been gripped by Islamic terrorism in recent times. Only recently a history teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded by an Islamist for showing Charlie Hebdo Mohammad cartoon during a lesson on free speech.
Following this France had retaliated against Islamic terrorism and stood in defiance against Islamic terrorism when it paid a tribute to slain Paty by projecting cartoons including the Charlie Hebdo Mohammed cartoon onto Montpellier and Toulouse government buildings.
