On 14 June, 13,000 men were detained after a French police officer and his partner were killed in their Paris home. The attack, which took place on 13 June, saw the attacker stab the pair and take their young son hostage. He was later rescued unharmed while the attacker was killed during the operation. The man, Larossi Abballa, had been sentenced in 2013 over links to a jihadist network, and ISIS later claimed to have incited Abballa to carry out his last attack. President François Hollande described the killings as “unquestionably a terrorist act”. Little information has been given about the subsequent detentions beyond the fact that they are related to the current investigation.
