Paris: French police have killed an armed man who was trying to set fire to a synagogue in the northern city of Rouen, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said in Friday.
"National police in Rouen neutralised early this morning an armed individual who clearly wanted to set fire to the city's synagogue," Darmanin wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
A source close to the case told AFP the man "was armed with a knife and an iron bar, he approached police, who fired. The individual died".
