Marseille railway station killer 'was Tunisian who had lived in Italy'

The attacker was killed by soldiers after Sunday's stabbings, which were claimed by the Islamic State group.

The man who fatally stabbed two young women in Marseille appears to be a Tunisian who had lived in Italy, France's interior minister said.

Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said on France-Inter radio that the assailant had Italian residency and a valid Tunisian passport.
