London: A
French national and Muslim convert has been shot dead by French police in front
of his pregnant wife and child, a media report said Sunday.
Jeremy Sidney, 33, was gunned down as armed officers swarmed into
his house in Strasbourg, France.
He was a French national who spent time in prison for drug-taking
and had only recently converted to Islam, the Sunday Express
reported.
Seven others, including another gunman in Paris, were arrested
during an anti-terrorist operation in the French capital, as well
as Strasbourg, Cannes and Nice.
All were suspected of being involved in an attack on a Jewish shop
in Paris last month in which one person was injured.
Sidney's fingerprints and DNA were said to have been found on an
explosive device used, according to the newspaper.
President Francois Hollande stressed "the full determination of
the state to protect French people against all forms of terrorist
threats".
