editI started this, then found June 2016 Magnanville attack, and merged the infoo here without performing a formal merge, for the paltry reason that I am out of time for now but thought 2 pages better than 1 since editors will undoubtedly want to expand this topic today. With apologies for rough-and-ready editing. E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:30, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Notability
editThis article is not very notable, IMO. People are stabbed in France every day, and this attack has a low number of deaths. There are many attacks in France with a higher number of fatalities that do not have an article.
- Notability isn't measured by number of deaths, but the degree of significant coverage by reliable secondary sources. Plenty of notable events don't kill anyone, even a notable plane crash. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:53, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- "This article is not very notable, IMO. People are stabbed in France every day, and this attack has a low number of deaths. There are many attacks in France with a higher number of fatalities that do not have an article." -- this is the stupidest thing I have read in a long time, if ever. The rank of the male victim and the circumstances of the crime make it eminently notable. Quis separabit? 19:52, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

New investigations
editIf you are able to read French Wikipedia or have time to look for new links, another cop became a Muslim, her daughter a radical islamist, and one of her friends who lived with them was on a list of dangerous radical islamists, had a list of 2626 intelligence members that only cops can see, had contacts with terrorists, and her brother knew the killer.
I just found this:

This looks like it's not Oxbridge English and of course "entreprise terroriste" is not a "terrorist company" though entreprise usually means company:
