A SUSPECTED terrorist accused of attacking a synagogue in France was tonight arrested following a gunfight with police.
The 33-year-old, who has not been named, was "severely wounded" before being taken into custody at the top of a council estate tower block in the city of Nimes on Saturday evening.
Specialist anti-terrorism magistrates linked the attack to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, in which thousands have been killed. "Thanks to the police force, and mainly the RAID, who intervened with great professionalism despite the gunfire." He said a gas cylinder was detonated "in front of the synagogue of La Grande-Motte at the expected time of arrival of worshippers".
Anti-Semitic acts in France have almost tripled since the beginning of the conflict, with ‘887 incidents’ recorded during the first half of this year, according to an Interior Ministry spokesman in Paris.
