Louvre attack suspect remained silent during questioning with French investigators

An Egyptian man suspected of charging at soldiers at the Louvre museum in Paris with a machete has been questioned by French investigators for the first time since the attack.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said the suspect, who allegedly shouted "Allahu akbar" while rushing towards the soldiers, and was shot four times after slightly injuring one, remained silent during the interview and will remain in custody.

The Louvre was closed immediately after the Friday attack, but reopened for the weekend.
