Suspected Terrorist Knife Attack in Nice, France, Leaves Three Dead
Footage shows police entering the Notre Dame basilica in Nice, France, where a man stabbed three people. It's the third such assault in a month, as a debate around depictions of Prophet Muhammad in France has stoked anger in several Muslim nations. Photo: Sebastien Nogier/Shutterstock NICE, France—A knife-wielding man killed three people—nearly decapitating one of them—in the Notre Dame Basilica in Nice, police said, in an assault being treated as an act of terrorism. The attacker Thursday entered the church, in the center of the French Riviera city, using a knife to slash the necks of his victims. One man’s throat was slit and a woman’s throat was “cut deeply in an apparent effort to decapitate her,” a French official said. A third victim managed to flee the church but later died from her wounds. The attacker shouted “Allahu akbar” before he was shot by police and detained, the official said. France hasn’t yet publicly identified the suspect. Two French officials described him as a 25-year-old Tunisian who illegally entered the European Union through the Italian island
EU leaders urge 'understanding among religions' after knife attack in France
BRUSSELS (AFP) - EU leaders on Thursday (Oct 29) condemned recent attacks in France and urged the world "to work towards dialogue and understanding among communities and religions, rather than division". In a statement issued by EU Council chief Charles Michel, the 27 leaders expressed solidarity with France but made no reference to the controversy over cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed. "We, European leaders, are shocked and saddened by the terrorist attacks in France," the statement said. "We condemn in the strongest possible terms these attacks, which represent attacks on our shared values. "We stand united and firm in our solidarity with France, with the French people and the government of France - in our common and continued fight against terrorism and violent extremism. "We call on leaders around the world to work towards dialogue and understanding among communities and religions rather than division." Earlier Thursday, a man wielding a knife had attacked and killed three people praying inside the Basilica of Notre-Dame in the French city of Nice. On October 16, another knifeman murdered a French history teacher who had been criticised by Muslim parents for showing pupils caricatures

US OKs extradition to Japan of men accused of helping Carlos Ghosn escape
The State Department has approved turning over to Japan two Massachusetts men to face charges that they helped smuggle former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn out of the country while he was awaiting trial on financial crimes. Lawyers for Army Special Forces veteran Michael Taylor and his son, Peter Taylor, disclosed the department’s decision in a court filing in federal court in Boston as they sought to delay the transfer, which could happen later Thursday. Lawyers for the Taylors did not immediately respond to requests for comment, nor did the White House and State Department. The State Department’s decision came after a federal magistrate judge in September rejected the two men’s challenge to their potential extradition following their arrests in May at the request of Japanese authorities. Prosecutors say the Taylors facilitated a “brazen” escape in which Ghosn fled Japan on Dec. 29, 2019, hidden in a box and on a private jet before reaching Lebanon, his childhood home, which has no extradition treaty with Japan. Ghosn was awaiting trial on charges that he engaged in financial wrongdoing, including by understating his compensation in Nissan’s financial statements. Ghosn denies wrongdoing. The State Department notified the Taylors’ lawyers of its decision on
