French Police kill knife-wielding man in church

Shafaq News/ French police shot dead a knife-wielding man in a church in southern France on Wednesday, authorities said.
According to French media outlets, the suspect had abandoned a stolen car near the scene before seeking refuge in a rural church, where he confronted officers before being fatally shot.
Police have yet to determine whether the incident was terror-related or motivated by other factors.
The incident comes as French authorities recently foiled several terrorist plots and issued warnings over heightened security risks.
Earlier, Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor, Olivier Christen, stated France thwarted three terrorist plots targeting the 2024 Paris Olympics, including plans to attack Israeli institutions, adding that five suspects, including a minor, were arrested and face terrorism-related charges.
