A chaotic scene unfolded in Mulhouse, France, where a violent stabbing incident occurred during a demonstration in support of Congo. One individual lost their life, and two police officers sustained serious injuries while attempting to subdue the attacker, who has been publicly identified as a 37-year-old man from Algeria. According to local prosecutor updates, this suspect was already under a deportation order and listed on a terrorism watch list.

Witnesses reported that the assailant shouted "Allahu Akbar" while carrying out the attack, a detail that has led law enforcement to classify the incident as a potential act of terrorism. The condition of the injured officers is being closely monitored, with reports indicating one officer was stabbed in the neck and another in the chest.

The community of Mulhouse is reeling from the incident, with Mayor Michele Lutz expressing the collective horror felt by residents in a heartfelt social media post. “Horror has seized our city,” she stated as emotions ran high following the event.
