“The French prime minister has put the country on its highest state of counter-terrorism alert after an assailant fatally stabbed a teacher and seriously wounded two others,” according to BBC Oct. 14, 2023. 20-year-old Russian national, Mohamed Mogouchkov, has been arrested in France following an attack at a school in Arras. The “attack emergency” level has been used in previous counter-terror cases, triggering extra security deployments and public warnings. The incident occurred amid rising tensions in France’s Muslim and Jewish communities due to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. “Mr Macron said the teacher who died had ‘come forward to protect others and without doubt saved many lives’”.
