Marseille police arrest four suspected terrorists after knife attack by Tunisian illegal immigrant shouting 'Allahu akbar' killed two students

[DailyMail]
  • Ahmed Hanachi, 29, on Sunday killed murdered two cousins, 20, at Gare de Marseille-Saint-Charles

  • Reports claim the Tunisian shouted 'Allahu Akbar' before stabbing the women

  • Officials say he had been arrested seven times since 2005, but had no convictions and used fake names

  • When killed, he had no identification, so had to be identified by his fingerprints

  • Hanachi had Italian residency and a valid Tunisian passport

  • Four people were arrested on Wednesday, and are being held on suspicion of being associated with a terror group

  • On Friday, Hanachi had been arrested and released after being caught shoplifting

  • The authorities do not routinely lock up illegal immigrants suspected of minor crimes
Marseille Terrorist Ahmed Hanachi Avoided Deportation Day Before Attack

[Breitbart] Hanachi's identity was confirmed by Tunisian authorities as one of their nationals Monday evening.

Paris prosecutor François Molins confirmed Hanachi was known for criminal acts in his home country and across North Africa and had been arrested a dozen times between 2005 and 2014 by French police in the areas of Marseille, Toulon, and Lyon, according to France 2.

Le Parisien revealed that the Tunisian had been detained ahead of a deportation order the day before the attack – after his most recent arrest for shoplifting – but was released because authorities were unable to reach the person responsible for signing detention orders at the Rhône prefecture and because there was, allegedly, not any room in the Lyon detention centre.

The French daily noted that only 30 per cent of illegal migrants who have passed through an administrative detention centre are ever deported, with Tunisians representing the third highest number of illegals expelled, according to 2015 figures.
