A man who had served a prison sentence for planning a radical Islamist attack and who was undergoing psychiatric treatment allegedly stabbed a German tourist to death and wounded two others – one British, one French – in a neighbourhood near Paris’s Eiffel tower on Saturday night.

The attack took place shortly after 9pm near the Bir Hakeim bridge in an area popular with tourists. France is on its highest alert for attacks against the background of the war between Israel and Hamas.

The U.S. Supreme Court is under attack. This assault aims to destroy one of the pillars of our constitutional order: an independent judiciary, appointed and confirmed by the political branches but thereafter answerable only to the process of impeachment and to its own oath to apply the Constitution and written laws. Judicial independence, as Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 78, is essential to ensuring the federal courts’ “inflexible and uniform adherence to the rights of the Constitution.”

At least six people were injured in an unprovoked attack by a suspect carrying a "bladed weapon" at the busy Gare du Nord train station in Paris Wednesday.
