The computer maintenance technician who launched a deadly stabbing spree that killed 4 police officers in Paris was reportedly a “recent religious convert” according to local newspapers.
“The IT worker who stabbed four of his colleagues to death inside Paris’ police headquarters Thursday was a recent convert to Islam who had been acting erratically the night before the attack,” reports Fox News.
“Le Parisien identified the attacker as Mickaël H., a 45-year-old computer maintenance specialist from Martinique who had worked at the police headquarters’ Intelligence Directorate unit since 2003. The Intelligence Directorate unit focuses on the fight against terrorism,” adds Fox.
