Paris [France], October 14: French president Emmanuel Macron has condemned the "barbarity of terrorism" after a knife-wielding attacker stabbed a teacher to death outside a school in the northeastern French town of Arras on Friday.
According to police, the teacher was killed in front of the main entrance to the school after being stabbed in the throat and chest before the assailant entered the building and continued his attack
Two more people, another teacher and a technical assistant, were seriously injured but none of the pupils were said to have been hurt.
