Ben Belgacem, known to the police for theft and drug offences, has been on the watch-list of intelligence services for radicalization, and he showed "determination to go to the end", the prosecutor said.

The attack in a busy airport came few days after two separate assaults with one targeting the International Monetary Fund office in Paris and the other concerning a heavily-armed teen "fascinated by firearms" who injured four people at a high school in south France.
Despite emergency security measures imposed two years ago, fresh assaults put security issue on the spotlight during a presidential campaign where the far-rightists, advocating for though security and anti-immigration proposals, eye to make a surprise and snatch the first place in the race to the Elysee Palace.
