Prime Minister Francois Bayrou has called the event “Islamophobic,” and investigators said a man accused of murdering a Muslim worshipper in a southern French mosque is still at large. When the victim was fatally stabbed on Friday, both men were by themselves in the mosque in La Grand-Combe, a former mining town in the Gard region. The attacker allegedly filmed the dying Malian guy, who was in his 20s, and captured the assault on his phone.
Although not yet in custody, the suspected criminal has been described by the AFP news agency as a non-Muslim French national of Bosnian descent, according to a person close to the investigation who wished to remain anonymous.
The assailant stabbed the victim around fifty times before fleeing the scene after first praying with the man. When more attendees came at the mosque for Friday prayers later in the morning, the corpse was discovered.
According to regional prosecutor Abdelkrim Grini, the suspect, who has only been known as Olivier, was born in France in 2004, is jobless, and has no criminal history. He is potentially extremely dangerous,” and it is “essential” to catch him before he claims additional victims. The victim had just completed cleaning the mosque when he was assassinated, according to a statement from the Grand Mosque of Paris, which denounced the incident.
