A double stabbing outside the former Paris offices of a satirical newspaper where dozens were killed in 2015 is an ‘act of Islamist terrorism’, France’s interior minister has said.

Two suspects were arrested separately shortly after the stabbing in which two people were wounded.

The main suspect had been arrested a month ago on the steps of the Bastille Opera, not far from the attack site, for carrying a screwdriver but was not on the police radar for Islamic radicalisation.

Interior minister Gerald Darmanin said the man – named as Ali – arrived in France three years ago as a minor, apparently from Pakistan, but his identity was still being verified.

‘But manifestly it’s an act of Islamist terrorism,’ Mr Darmanin said in an interview with the France 2 television station.

‘Obviously, there is little doubt. It’s a new bloody attack against our country, against journalists, against this society.’

Police arrested two men – a ‘main perpetrator’ and another suspect – after one was spotted with blood dripping from his clothes near the Opera Bastille and another was stopped at a Metro station.

The main suspect is said to be 18-year-old Ali, who is known to the police, while the second man was described as a 33-year-old Algerian.

Three others were also later detained in relation to the attack, a judicial source told Reuters.

Dramatic pictures showed Ali, who had arrived in France as a minor claiming political asylum, crouching on the floor in a yellow Manchester City top and tracksuit bottoms.

Undercover officers, identified by their orange arm bands, stood over the suspect before he was taken to a high security police station in the French capital.

Terror police have taken up the case, and French prosecutors suspect an extremist motive because of the place and timing of the stabbings – near the former Charlie Hebdo premises during a trial relating to the 2015 massacre.
