Woman shouting 'Allahu akbar' stabs two shoppers at French supermarket


First that there's no mention on the BBC, not that that is surprising. 

Second that any report could elide these two lines:

'A woman allegedly shouted 'Allahu akbar' before she stabbed two people with a box cutter in a supermarket in La Seyne-sur-Merm southern France on Sunday

... 

Officials said it was an 'isolated incident' and cited the woman's history of mental illness, but admitted terrorism could not be ruled out.'

No because shouting Allahu akbar is not a link with Islamist terrorism. 


Here's some more from The Mail report:

A woman has allegedly shouted 'Allahu akbar' before stabbing two people with a box cutter in a supermarket in southern France.

The suspect stabbed customers in a checkout line at a supermarket in La Seyne-sur-Mer on Sunday morning, according to local reports.

A man shopping at the E.Leclerc shop was struck in the chest and was hospitalised, and a woman at the market's cash register was also injured, but not as seriously.

Officials said the attacker, who is said to be 24 years old and born in France, has been detained.

The suspect was reportedly quickly overpowered by staff members at the supermarket.

Officials said it was an 'isolated incident' and cited the woman's history of mental illness, but admitted terrorism could not be ruled out.'
