Knife-wielding terrorist in France used multiple identities

The man who stabbed two women to death Sunday at a train station in Marseille, France, had seven different registered identities, officials said. French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb on Tuesday told Radio France Inter the attacker had Italian residency and a valid Tunisian passport, which identified him as Ahmed H. The assailant attacked the two women at the Saint-Charles train station before French soldiers shot him dead. Paris public prosecutor Francois Molins said the assailant had used the seven identities since 2005. He last used his Tunisian identity when French police officers arrested him earlier Saturday for shoplifting in Lyon. They released him a day later for lack of evidence. Molins said none of the suspect’s identities raised any alert on French anti-terror checklists.
