Louvre attack suspect refuses to talk to investigators
Abdullah Reda al Hamamy
Paris - Arab Today
A terror suspect accused of carrying out a machete attack on troops outside the Louvre museum in Paris has refused to speak to investigators, Sky News reported.
The 29-year-old Egyptian, named as Abdullah Reda al Hamamy, was questioned after being formally detained in hospital, where he had been treated for gunshot wounds.
He was injured by a soldier who opened fire as he allegedly lunged at the military personnel with a machete in each hand, shouting "Allahu Akbar".
French President Francois Hollande has described it as a terrorist attack.
A source at the Paris prosecutor's office said on Sunday: "The first interview took place this morning, but it turned out to be a short one. For the moment, he refuses to talk to investigators."
One soldier was injured in the attack near the entrance to the landmark museum, which went into lockdown and closed for the rest of the day, before reopening on Saturday.
