Facing Paris prosecutors, Louvre suspect clams up

February 06,2017 03:31

The suspect in Friday’s machete attack at the Louvre has declined to answer prosecutors’ initial questions, judicial sources told news agencies on Sunday. Soldiers shot the suspect at least four times in the torso on Friday after he allegedly attacked them in what French President Francois Hollande has since described as a terrorist attack. Reports Deutsche Welle.
“For the moment,” a judicial source told Reuters, “he refuses to talk to investigators.”
Investigators have begun hunting for clues to establish whether the suspect acted alone, on impulse or on orders. He allegedly attacked troops checking bags near the museum’s underground shopping mall with a machete in each hand, wounding one soldier. The suspect’s injuries no longer appear life-threatening, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office.
The Louvre reopened Saturday under an even heavier presence of police and soldiers.
