Brahim A, a 25-year-old Tunisian who
killed a man and two women at a church in Nice Thursday,
beheading one of the women, landed at the Italian island of
Lampedusa, Italian security sources said, confirming reports
from the French city.
Another Tunisian, Anis Amri, arrived at Lampedusa as a minor in
2011 and went on to kill 12 people in a truck attack on a Berlin
Christmas market in 2016.
France has been roiled by Islamist threats and attacks since a
schoolteacher was beheaded on October 16 after showing
controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed which have been
deemed blasphemous and led to the January 2015 attack on the
Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine office in Paris in which 12
people were killed.
