What we know so far
By Henry Samuel in Paris
Police in Paris shot dead a man wielding a meat cleaver and a fake suicide vest outside a police station while shouting Alahu Akbar, a year after Islamists killed 12 at Charlie Hebdo’s offices.
The assailant, described as “threatening” by police sources, was gunned down as he tried to force his way into the police station of Paris’ 18th arrondissement. He was found to be wearing a pouch taped to his coat with wires dangling from it. However, it later proved to be a “fake” suicide belt.
The dead man was carrying a mobile phone and a note on which figured the black Isil flag and an "unambiguous statemenent" in Arabic, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.
Police ordered passers-by to take shelter in shops in the road and stores were closed. Children were confined to the nearby school while bomb disposal experts and dogs combed the street to search for booby trapped vehicles. Stretches of nearby Paris metro lines were also briefly closed.
“I heard something like four shots,” Lydie Quentin, president of local association A la Goutte-d’Or, situated near the police station. “I opened the door and the police asked me not to come out. That’s the only thing they asked us to do. Around here, all the shops have closed,” she told Le Monde.
The dead suspect reportedly had “no papers on him” and has not been identified.
The apparent foiled attack took place just as President François Hollande was paying tribute, elsewhere in Paris, to three police officers among the 17 dead in the attacks last January, which ended after two days of bloodshed in the Paris region.
Mr Hollande said officers die in the line of duty “so that we can live free”.
Following the January attacks, the government announced it planned to give police better equipment and hire more intelligence agents.
France has been on high alert ever since, and was struck again November 13 by extremists in attacks claimed by Isil that killed 130 people at the Bataclan concert hall and in bars and restaurants.
