ISIS claims responsibility over a Knife attack that left two dead near Paris

Two people were killed and one «badly injured» in a knife attack Thursday in Trappes, a suburb west of Paris, according to France's National Police.

The attacker was also killed, police said.

«After the attack, he ran into a house to hide. He left shortly afterward and threatened police before being neutralized», police added.

The two people who were killed were the attacker's mother and sister, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry told reporters.

Interior Minister Gérard Collomb told reporters in Trappes that «the attacker had serious psychiatric problems» and that he «was known for being a terror apologist».

The attacker was on the File for the Prevention of Terrorist Radicalization, a targeted watch list which focuses on would-be jihadists.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack via its Amaq media outlet but did not provide any evidence to support the claim.
