(Reuters) - There is no "plan B" for the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games, the French sports minister said on Monday, after a man armed with a knife and hammer killed a German tourist and left two people wounded near the Eiffel Tower on Saturday. "We have no plan B, we have a plan in which there are several sub-plans with a certain number of adjustment variables," Amelie Oudea-Castera told France Inter radio. The 26-year-old suspect, a French national arrested after the attack, had pledged allegiance to Islamic State in a video recorded beforehand, anti-terrorism Prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard said on Sunday. The attack occurred on the Quai de Grenelle - a spot also included in the plans for the opening ceremony. France has been on high alert since raising its security threshold in October, when a Chechen-origin man with a knife killed a teacher in a school in northern France.

Foto: abcnews.comPrima victimă a atacului cu cuţitul din bazilica Notre Dame din Nisa este o femeie în vârstă de 60 de ani, care a suferit „o tăiere a gâtului care echivalează cu o decapitare”, conform informaţiilor furnizate de procurorul şef antiterorism al Franţei. Un exemplar al Coranului, două telefoane, un cuţit cu o lamă de 17 cm, folosit în atac, precum şi alte două cuţite neutilizate au fost găsite la locul atacului. Parchetul Naţional Antiterorist (PNAT) a deschis o anchetă pentru „asasinat şi tentativă de asasinat având legătură cu o faptă teroristă”. Agresorul, rănit în timpul intervenţiei poliţiei, a fost transportat la spital. Atacul a fost comis în ziua în care musulmanii celebrează naşterea profetului Mohamed.
