The man who killed a French schoolteacher last week said he was acting for the Islamic State (IS) group, in a video recorded before the attack, a source close to the case said Tuesday.
Mohammed Moguchkov, 20, also made a"very marginal" reference to the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel in the video before knifing the teacher to death at a school in Arras in northern France on Friday, the source added.
Following the shooting in Brussels of two Swedes by a Tunisian man also claiming inspiration from Islamic State, President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that"all European states are vulnerable... there is a return of this Islamist terrorism". Macron's office said he would attend the funeral of the victim, 57-year-old Dominique Bernard, on Thursday.
