Islamic State terrorist murders police officer in Paris
A policeman and his wife were killed in a frenzied knife attack at their home in a Paris suburb on Monday night by a man who reportedly shouted “Allahu Akhbar”. The man had been sentenced in 2013 for taking part in a jihadist organisation with links to Pakistan, press agency AFP reported on Tuesday.
They identified him as Larossi Abballa, 25, adding that he had been sentenced to a three-year term - six months of which were suspended - for "criminal association with the aim of preparing terrorist acts," in a trial with seven other defendants.
French police sources also said that Abballa was part of a recent investigation into a Syria jihadist network and had pledged allegiance to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).

The terrorist had apparently broadcasted the brutal murders of the police officer and his wife live on Facebook.
The three years old son of the couple was unharmed.
