An “Islamophobic attack” in a mosque in southern France has led to the arrest of a man in Italy.
Two days after the attack at the mosque in La Grand Combe, a former mining town in the Gard region, the suspect turned himself in at a police station near Florence late on Sunday. The murder of the Malian man has been labeled as “racist” and “anti-Muslim” crimes.
The suspect, who was born in 2004 and had no prior criminal history, entered Italy before turning himself in, according to the French Ministry of Interior.
Abdelkrim Grini, the public prosecutor in the southern city of Ales in Gard, claimed that police had been pursuing the suspect after he fled France, adding that it was only a matter of time before we could track him.
He continued, “The anti-Muslim motivation is the preferred lead,” but he also noted that authorities were also looking into other causes, including a “fascination with death.”
Following the attack, which was later reported online and was later recorded on the suspect’s phone, authorities launched a manhunt on Friday.
Before beginning the assault, the attacker allegedly yelled insults to God in security footage.
According to Grini, France will begin extradition proceedings right away. We’ll do everything possible to get him back as quickly as possible.
It is devoir to nommer the things with precision in this time of gathering and gravitation. Un devoir citoyen and human, as well as a political devoir.

Racism and hatred based on religion will never have a place in France, according to President Emmanuel Macron. Religion’s freedom is unbreakable.
Prior, Francois Bayrou, the prime minister, described the incident as “Islamophobic.”
The victim, a 20-year-old man who had been cleaning the mosque shortly before the attack, was identified by the Grand Mosque of Paris as Aboubakar.
Over the weekend, activists in La Grand Combe and Paris staged demonstrations in support of the victim and demanded more aggressive action against anti-Muslim violence.

Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri, former Love Island favorites, ended their romance earlier this year, and the two are now open about their breakup.

It doesn’t look like Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri will be reuniting anytime soon. In the wake of Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha opening up about their recent split, estate agent Andrew has taken action online and revealed that he is “moving on.”
The former couple won hearts as contestants on Love Island in 2022 but were pipped to the post by winners Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. However, their journey did not end at the finale; they left hand-in-hand, with their love story captivating viewers as it seemingly grew stronger day by day.
Their bond had already grown stronger by the time their relationship reached the final of Strictly, where Andrew was Tasha’s biggest cheerleader while Aljakorjanec competed alongside her in the same year. However, when Tasha and Andrew called it quits in February 2025 amid the brisk Strictly Live tour, the story unexpectedly took a new direction.

Andrew has spoken on Snapchat recently from Tasha, who is describing the breakdown of their relationship in her new book. One follower questioned the “different negative narratives” surrounding the relationship breakdown during a Q&, A with the fans. Let’s just say I had to bite my tongue with it all. Truth always comes out right at some point. Andrew responded.
Other fans asked if Andrew would start a podcast to discuss his side of the story in reference to Tasha’s new book. Andrew responded, “To be honest, it’s not my thing.” “We’re finished, and I’m moving on.”

Tasha and Andrew were battling issues away from the spotlight despite acting as one-sided throughout Strictly’s trying weeks. In her upcoming memoir, Your Superpower, Tassa spills the beans, blaming the stringent requirements of Strictly for the breakdown of their fairytale romance.
Tasha says in her new book that “it’s a long process” but that finding support for people with disabilities is what it’s all about. I was completely aware that it wasn’t appropriate. There were a lot of tears shed, and it was very difficult. I planned to marry Andrew, but he was not. We discussed having children.
The bombshell dropped just weeks after Tasha’s candid chat with the Mirror about her breakup. Spilling the beans on her fresh start in a new home post-split, Tasha shared with us: “It’s a new chapter. It’s a new beginning and it’s all about embracing that and that’s what life is about.”
This came after she retorted rumors about her separation from Andrew, and she responded with, “No, I ended the relationship.” “In the background, there were many things.”
After a two-and-a-half-year romance, sources reveal that Tasha and Andrew’s relationship ended in February. The cracks started to appear on Tasha’s Strictly, according to an insider who spoke to The Sun.
She gave it everything in that contest. As time went on, her attention remained solely on her dances with Aljaz, which caused a rift between them. She’s almost going out on the Strictly tour as a single woman, and they discussed ending their relationship at the beginning of January.

India and Pakistan have exchanged gunfire for a fourth night in a row in the wake of a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last week.
The Indian army said it responded to “unprovoked small arms fire” from multiple Pakistan Army posts around midnight on Sunday along the 740km (460-mile) de-facto border separating the Indian and Pakistani areas of the disputed region, which both nations have claimed since their separation in 1947. The persistent cross-border skirmishes have raised fears of wider military escalation between the rival nuclear powers.
The Pakistani military has not yet commented on the latest exchange of fire. No casualties have been reported.
The skirmishes come after gunmen killed 26 people near the resort town of Pahalgam in Muslim-majority Kashmir last Tuesday. It was the deadliest attack on civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir for a quarter of a century.
Security officials and survivors said that gunmen segregated men during the attack, asking their names and targeting Hindus before shooting them at close range.
The attack triggered outrage and grief in India, with New Delhi accusing Pakistan of funding and encouraging “cross-border terrorism” in Kashmir. Islamabad has denied any role and called for a , neutral probe.
Following the attack, India launched an extensive security operation, and identified two of the three suspects as Pakistani.
Security forces detained approximately 500 people for questioning and searched nearly 1, 000 houses and forests, hunting for the attackers, according to a local police official cited by news agency Reuters.
The two nations have since unleashed a raft of measures against one another.
India has put the critical Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance and sealed its land border with Pakistan. Islamabad has closed its airspace to Indian airlines.
India’s defence forces have conducted several military exercises across the country since the attack. Some of these are routine preparedness drills, a defence official said.
Kashmir Resistance, also known as The Resistance Front, said in a social media post on Sunday that it “unequivocally” denies involvement in the attack.
