Another person, it seems, tried to intervene and this person was knifed and died and was killed by the man. The man is under arrest and in detention and it's been revealed by the prosecutor that he's a 37-year-old Algerian man and he cried out Allahu Akbar at the time of his act. So this has been classified as a terrorist attack and it also has been reported now and confirmed that the man...

With his long grey ponytail, Boualem Sansal was a familiar face in the French media. This was him on a popular chat show a few years ago when he'd released a new novel. He was a kind of go-to guy on Algeria, not least because he was very critical of the government there.

So it was a shock when, in November, it was announced that on a visit to Algiers, Sansol had been arrested at the airport under state security laws. I am the publisher of the last book of Boulem Sansol. Paris publisher Jean-François Colosimo knows Boilem Sansal well. He describes him as a humane and gentle person and a genuine free thinker.
