French anti-terrorism prosecutor briefs press on racist attack in Trappes

French anti-terrorism prosecutor Olivier Christen held a press conference on Thursday, 29 October, about the recent racist terrorist attack in Trappes, a town in France. The attack left one man dead and five other people wounded.

Among the wounded is a 12-year-old girl. The attack is being treated as terrorism with a racist motive, which is why the anti-terrorism prosecutor is involved in the case.

A replay of the press conference is available on the website of France 24, the international news channel. The source provides no further details about the circumstances of the attack, any suspects or the progress of the investigation, so none are included here.
