Paris station attack: Police bid to identify suspect

Investigators are still trying to verify the true identity of the man who tried to attack a Paris police station with a butcher’s knife and a fake explosives vest.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told France-Inter radio that the assailant shot dead on Thursday, the anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, carried a paper marked with the Muslim declaration of faith, an emblem of the Islamic State group, his name, and gave his nationality as Tunisian.
