"France on High Alert: Louvre and Versailles Evacuated, Teacher Stabbed in Islamist Terror"

France has deployed 7,000 troops and increased security measures after bomb threats were made against the Louvre Museum and Versailles Palace, leading to evacuations. The threats came a day after a teacher was stabbed to death by a suspected Islamist terrorist in Arras. The attacker, who shouted "Allahu akbar" during the attack, was a former student at the school. French President Emmanuel Macron denounced the attack as an act of "Islamist terror" and ordered the deployment of troops throughout the country. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but French intelligence suggests a possible link to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
