    A man with a knife has attacked three soldiers patrolling outside a Jewish community centre in Nice, in the south of France.

    Two soldiers were lightly wounded. The assailant was arrested, police say.

    The attack happened in central Nice. Two people who were with the assailant fled the scene, reports say.

    France has been on high alert since last month's terror attacks in the Paris region by three Islamist gunmen, in which 17 were killed.

    Mods, it's breaking news. I'll add more to this as information comes available.

    One guy versus three soldiers. Who brings a knife to a gunfight? Probably someone trying to suicide by cops

    Is that directed at the mods or the rest of us? You need to be specific here.

    Just read, the attack occurred outside a Jewish centre ... why am I not surprised.

    Damn, those Tibetan Buddhists are out of control!

    Common courtesy to expand on the article and give your own thoughts when starting a thread.

    Two soldiers who were providing security outside a Jewish school. Considering recent events, I think that's newsworthy.

    Oh, and;
    The assailant has the Malian surname Coulibaly - the same as that of one of the Paris attackers, who killed four people in a Jewish supermarket.

    The French military actually has the best military record in Europe having won 132 of the 185 battles they have fought in the last 800 years. Stop peddling anglophone nonsense.

    What colour was the cow? Was he on the verge of jumping off a cliff?

    So the attackers name was Coulibaly, (like the murderer of the 4 Jews in Paris), and he attacked a Jewish school.

    There goes my theory about the attacker being a Tibetan Buddhist ...

    It's almost as if there was a pattern ...

    Particularly when all 3 survived and disarmed the attacker-The pride of the British Army,Lee Rigby,well......:(

    And,no that was not an attack on an unfortunate Soldier who was brutally murdered,but rather a riposte to our jingoistic pal,Fratton Fred.
