A knife attack near the Eiffel Tower in central Paris has left one German tourist dead and two others wounded. The attack, which occurred at around 19:00 GMT on Saturday, was carried out by a 26-year-old French citizen who was known to authorities and was undergoing treatment for mental illness. The attacker has been arrested and an investigation has been launched, although the prosecutor’s office has not yet classified the incident as an act of terrorism. President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne have expressed condolences and affirmed that France will not give in to terrorism. This attack comes just months before the Olympic Games in Paris, raising concerns about security for the event. France has been on high alert for potential attacks since a teacher was fatally stabbed in October and another was beheaded by a Chechen three years prior.
