Nice Mayor Says Notre Dame Church Assassin Kept Shouting Allahu Akbar Even After Being Medicated

Brahim Aoussaoui, the 21-year-old Tunisian assassin behind the Notre Dame Basilica rampage, which claimed the lives of three and inflicted serious injuries to several worshippers, was pictured last night.

Aoussaoui reportedly made inroads into Italy, Europe, last month, and allegedly shouted, “Allahu Akbar” during the attack suffered multiple shots by armed police at 9.01 a.m before he was taken to hospital. The cops used an electric gun at first and then fired service revolvers.

The ghastly incident, which also entailed the beheading of an elderly woman and hacking two others to death, marks the third attack by Muslim extremists in less than two months in France, pushed Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron to take proactive measures to up the security in and around religious sites and educational institutions from 3,000 troops to 7,000.

As per recent reports, Aoussaoui’s movements were traced on public CCTV’s that showed the migrant Islamic terrorist entering the Nice train station at 6:47 a.m., shortly upon which he was recorded changing outfits and shoes before leaving for the church before 8.30 a.m.

Prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard maintained that Aoussaoui was carrying a copy of the Quran while carrying out the attack. A further probe into his bag suggested that the attacker was armed with a knife with a 17-centimeter blade along with two other knives.

Aoussaoui roughly spent about 30 minutes inside the church before police arrived via a side entrance and “after advancing down a corridor they came face-to-face with (the attacker) whom they neutralized,” Ricard said.

Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi reportedly averred that Aoussaoui 'kept shouting Allahu Akbar even after being medicated'. “Enough is enough,” said Estrosi. “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,” he added.

“Quite clearly, it is France that is being attacked,” said Macron said, added how the country “will not give up on our values.” The attack comes amid fury across the Islamic world at President Macron for defending satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, and on the day that Sunni Muslims mark the Prophet's birthday. Scores of Muslim-majority countries recently launched campaigns to boycott French products, while protesters burnt the tricolor and the like.
