Turkish student attempt to kill jewish teacher.

France saw another terror attack
attempt on Monday, as a radicalized
student from Turkey attempted to stab
a Jewish teacher in the southern city
of Marseille. The latest stabbing attack
has been linked to
the Islamic State
terrorist group.
The assault took place outside a
Marseille synagogue. The victim was
reportedly wearing a Jewish religious
cap known as yarmulke or kippah,
according to French television station
BFMTV.
The 15-year-old attacker, whose name
has not been disclosed, told police
that he had acted in the name of
Islamic State (IS, previously ISIS/ISIL),
according to prosecutor Brice Robin, as
quoted by AFP.

The attack took place in broad
daylight, with the 35-year-old teacher
receiving injuries to his shoulder and
hand, Robin said at a press
conference.
The teenager, reportedly an ethnic
Kurd, attacked the teacher from behind
and ended up chasing his victim
before tripping and falling to the
ground. The teacher, who was on his
way to work at the Franco-Hebraic
Institute, tried to kick the attacker
away and used the Torah in his hands
as a shield. Eventually, the teen
dropped his bloodied machete and fled
the scene.
