What he is accused of
A German man was killed and two other people injured in a knife and hammer attack near the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Saturday evening. The assailant, Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, was arrested shortly after the incident and taken into custody. The National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office (PNAT) has taken charge of the investigation for murder and attempted murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise and for criminal terrorist conspiracy.
Comment: In the instances where the attacker was known by authorities, it's reasonable to suspect that, at the very least, they had foreknowledge that an attack like this would happen. In a number of instances, there's strong evidence showing that the establishment facilitated the terrorist attack.
Geopolitical analysts also foresaw that, what with the West's wholehearted support for Israel's escalation of its genocide against Palestians, the deep state would foster situations that would lead to increased terror attacks:
- British MP stabbing suspect was KNOWN to counter-terrorism program, MP reported threat days before but no action was taken (2021)
- Austria's terror attacker was known to authorities, Switzerland alerted them to ammunition purchase attempt (2020)
- Nice terrorist who was known to authorities before church attack now under formal investigation (2020)
- Car rams into crowd killing 1, injuring 5, on street in Melbourne, Australia - suspect known by police to have mental health issues (2023)
Obviously some attacks will simply be the consequence of weaponised mass migration:- France: Protests & riots erupt after murder at village party by gang of youths, locals report 'anti-white' slurs during knife attack
- Riot breaks out in Dublin, Ireland, after Algerian migrant stabs group of children outside school
