A
armed man 'wearing a suicide belt' has been shot dead outside a police
station in Paris. The
man had been trying to enter the police station in Barbes, northern
Paris, shouting 'Allahu Akbar' and threatening officers with a knife. French
officials say the man was wearing what appears to have been an
explosives vest or belt, and police are investigating the attack as
potential terrorism.
A
Paris police official said police are viewing the incident as 'more
likely terrorism' than a standard criminal act. The official spoke on
condition of anonymity because of police policy.
Luc
Poignant, a police union official, said the man may have been wearing
an explosives vest, and cried out 'Allahu Akbar' or 'God is great' in
Arabic.
