Security guard in Jeddah injured – knife attack at French consulate

In the Saudi Arabian Jeddah, a man attacked a security guard at the French embassy with a “sharp tool” in the morning and injured him slightly. The attacker can be overwhelmed. It is unclear whether the act is related to the act of terrorism in Nice. A man attacked and slightly injured a security officer at the French consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The state news agency SPA reported that the perpetrator was arrested. The man was around 40 years old and attacked the guard with a “sharp tool,” said police spokesman Mohammed al-Ghamdi. It was said that he was a local. The exact background of the act is unclear. The French embassy in Riyadh spoke of a “knife attack”. The injured security guard was employed by a security company, the embassy said, without mentioning his nationality. He was taken to a hospital. Saudi security forces overwhelmed the perpetrator shortly after the attack. The embassy strongly condemned the attack. They have confidence in the Saudi authorities to protect the French community in the country.

The attack followed a bloody knife attack in Nice in the south of France, in which three people were killed and six others were injured, according to a preliminary assessment. There was also an alleged Islamist attack in Avignon. A man threatened several people with a pistol and was shot by the police. The highest terror warning level now applies in France. The French in Saudi Arabia were also called on to be “extremely vigilant”. The Elysée had already issued similar warnings for the French in Turkey, Bangladesh and Indonesia. The background to this is the tension between France and many Muslim countries over the publication of cartoons of Mohammed. France’s head of state Emmanuel Macron had vehemently defended the publication of Mohammed cartoons after the Islamist attack on en teacher Samuel Paty. He triggered violent protests in many Muslim countries, and there were also calls for boycotts against French goods.
