On 12 May 2018, a 20-year-old Chechnya-born French citizen,[3] armed with a knife, killed one pedestrian and injured four others near the Palais Garnier opera house in Paris, France, before being fatally shot by police.[4] The stabbings were in the area of Rue Saint-Augustin and Passage Choiseul.[5] French President Emmanuel Macron said France had "paid once again the price of blood but will not cede an inch to the enemies of freedom."[6] The suspect, identified as Khamzat Azimov, had been on a counter-terrorism watchlist since 2016. Amaq News Agency posted a video of a hooded person pledging allegiance to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, claimed to be the attacker.[7] Europol classified the attack as jihadist terrorism.[8]
