(ANSA) - Paris, February 4 - Moussa Coulibaly, accused of
trying to stab three anti-terrorism guards in Nice, passed
through Rome twice, French media reported Wednesday.
Coulibaly has the same surname as Amedy Coulibaly, the
gunman who killed four people at a Jewish supermarket in Paris
on January 9.
On Tuesday, Moussa Coulibaly, 31, allegedly tried to stab
three guards at a building housing several Jewish institutions
in Nice. None were injured seriously, in part due to
bullet-proof vests.
The Nouvel Observateur said he had attempted to fly to
Turkey recently with stopovers in Rome, and had ordered his
travel agency to ensure he had direct flights to Nice and Rome.
However, he was not permitted to enter Turkey and was
turned back at the Istanbul airport.
