French media: the native of Ingushetia who killed the teacher acted on behalf of ISIS

After his arrest, a video was found on the phone of 20-year-old Mohammed Mogushkov where he swears allegiance to the banned terrorist organization Islamic State. Investigators believe that the attack by a native of Ingushetia at the French school was planned.

The day before, Mogushkov’s sister described him as “cruel and radical,” condemning his act. According to Le Figaro, the young man was periodically subjected to domestic violence by his father, who was expelled from France in 2018 and now lives in Georgia. Mogushkov’s older brother was sentenced to five years in prison in 2017 for promoting the Islamic State.

Let us remind you that on October 13, Mogushkov burst into a school with a knife in the French city of Arras. He fatally wounded a French teacher and wounded two other employees of the institution. Law enforcement officers arrested the attacker and his two siblings. Mogushkov’s uncle, aunt and cousin are also in custody.

A few days after the incident, France announced its intention to expel dozens of Russians to their homeland, including natives of the North Caucasus Federal District, who are on the “S List,” in which French services include people who pose a threat to the country’s security.
