France raises alert level to highest after teacher killed in Islamist attack

A 20-year-old knifeman attacked a school in Arras, France, killing a teacher and seriously wounding two others. President Emmanuel Macron condemned the attack as “barbaric Islamic terrorism.” The suspect, a former student of the school, was on a state watchlist as a potential security risk. The attack is believed to have a link to the Israel-Hamas conflict, but Macron urged the French to remain united and not bring the conflict home.
