"Two victims have been stabbed to death," Local media quoted regional police chief Olivier de Mazieres as saying.

France has opened a counter-terrorism inquiry after the rising incidents of troops being attacked, stationed at capital's transport hubs and tourist sites.

France has been the victim of a string of ISIS-inspired terror attacks in the past two years, most notably the November 2015 atrocities which claimed the lives of 130 people.(ANI)
