Vatican says 'terrorism, violence never acceptable' after Nice attack

Vatican says 'terrorism, violence never acceptable' after Nice attack

The attack leaves at least three killed, several injured


Catholic Pope Francis prayed for the victims of an attack by a knifeman in a Nice church Thursday, as the Vatican said "terrorism and violence can never be accepted".

"Today's attack has sown death in a place of love and consolation. The Pope is aware of the situation and is close to the mourning Catholic community," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement.

"He prays for the victims and their loved ones, so that the violence may cease, so that we may return to look upon ourselves as brothers and sisters and not as enemies, so that the beloved French people may unite to combat evil with good", he said.

At least three people have been confirmed killed while several reportedly injured.

Three people, two women and a man, have been killed, including one woman who was decapitated. 

The man is reportedly the sexton of the church.

Nice mayor Christian Estrosi said it was a terrorist attack, and that the "Islamo-fascist" assailant "didn't stop shouting Allahu Akhbar even under medication" after being shot and arrested.

The police believe the attacker, who has been named as 'Brahim', was acting alone.
A suspect with a knife reportedly shouting "Allahu Akbar" has been fatally shot during an attack on police officers in Avignon.
A Saudi citizen has also been arrested in Jeddah for stabbing a security guard outside the French consulate with "a sharp tool".
