France's anti-terrorism prosecutor said Sunday, December 3, 2023, he has opened an investigation on the fatal stabbing of a 23-year-old German-Filipino tourist near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, allegedly by a man who had been under surveillance for suspected Islamic radicalization.

French prosecutors have opened an investigation into a 'terrorist plot' after a man known to the authorities as a radical Islamist with mental health troubles stabbed a tourist to death and wounded two other people in central Paris at the weekend before being arrested.

Officials said in a news conference that suspect Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab could face a preliminary charge of murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise.

France's interior minister said the country was "durably under threat from Islamist terrorism" after a German tourist was stabbed to death in Paris.
