Two women held over Paris knife attack

PARIS: Two women living near Paris were detained for questioning Thursday in connection with the deadly knife attack in Paris last weekend, France’s top anti-terror prosecutor Francois Molins said at a press conference. He added that Abdoul Hakim A., a friend of the knifeman Khamzat Azimov, would be brought before a judge Thursday and potentially charged over his role in the attack. One of the two women held is Ines Hamza, a radicalised 19-year-old who married Abdoul Hakim A. before trying to leave for Syria, according to a source close to the inquiry.
