SOLDIERS in France have shot a man dead at Gare de Marseille-Saint-Charles station in Marseille after he killed two women in what police sources called a “likely terrorist act”.

The two victims – one aged 17 and the other 20 – suffered gory injuries, two police sources said, saying one had her throat slit while the other was stabbed in the stomach.

According to Reuters, three police sources said the suspect had shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) as he carried out his attack at Marseille’s main railway station.

The attack was described as “frenzied” by an unofficial police source. 

Two police sources said the attacker had been carrying a butcher’s knife, was around 30 years old and of North African appearance. One of the sources said no identification papers were found on him.
