Knife attacks occurred in several European cities in August. Last week, a knife-wielding man shouting “Allahu Akbar” attacked a group of soldiers in the center of Brussels, injuring two of them. Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) claimed responsibility for the assault, which is being treated as “terrorist act” by Belgium.
On August 18, two people were killed and six injured in a knife attack in the Finnish city of Turku, which is being investigated as a terrorist incident. On the same day, one person was killed and another injured in a stabbing attack in the German city of Wuppertal.
On August 5, a man carrying a knife and reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” was arrested near the Eiffel Tower in Paris. No one was injured in the incident, and a terrorism investigation is reportedly underway.
