Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox civilian attack In late morning on 4 April 2020, a knife attack occurred in Romans-sur-Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, resulting in the death of two people and the wounding of five others.[1] The attacker, Abdallah Ahmed-Osman, a 33-year old Sudanese refugee, was charged with terrorist crimes.

Attack

The attacker entered a tobacco shop, where he stabbed the two owners and a customer, wounding them; he went on to a butcher's shop, where he stole a knife and killed a customer. He then killed another man, the owner of a local theatre who died shielding his twelve-year-old son, and then wounded two people waiting in line outside a bakery.[2]

The suspect was a 33-year-old Sudanese man who had obtained refugee status and a 10-year visa in 2017.[3][4] According to Arabic-speaking witnesses, he shouted "Allah Akbar" when he launched his attack and, at the time of his arrest, kneeled down and recited the Shahada, the Muslim profession of faith.[5] A terrorism investigation was launched. Searches at his home revealed handwritten notes complaining about living in a "country of disbelievers".[6] On 8 April, he was indicted for "assassinations and attempted assassinations in connection with a terrorist group".[7]

The attack occurred during the national lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France.[8][9]
