Two people have been killed and five wounded in a knife attack in south-east France, in what the interior minister described as a terrorist incident.

Witnesses said the attacker entered a tobacconist in the town of Romans-sur-Isre, near Grenoble, and stabbed the owners and a customer.

He then went to a nearby butcher's shop and attacked more people.

A suspect, described in French media as a 33-year-old man from Sudan, has been arrested.

At the time of his arrest, the attacker was "found on his knees on the pavement praying in Arabic", prosecutors said.

The man was not known to the police or intelligence services, news website France Bleu reported.

The motive for the attack remains unclear, but Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said during a visit to the town: "This morning, a man embarked on a terrorist journey."

Mr Castaner said it would be up to the National Counter-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office to establish whether the attacker acted alone.

In a statement, the prosecutor's office said initial investigations suggest the attacker had "a determined murderous course aimed at seriously disturbing public order by intimidation or terror".

During a search of the suspect's home, "handwritten documents with religious connotations were found", it said.

Prosecutors said they made an arrest of a second person on Saturday who, according to France Bleu, was living with the attacker.

Two of the wounded are said to be in a critical condition.

President Emmanuel Macron described the attack as an "odious" incident that further saddened a country already going through an ordeal.

"My thoughts are with the victims of the Romans-sur-Isre attack - the injured, their families," he tweeted.

Mr Macron promised that "light will be shed" on the crime.

France is currently in lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. People are only allowed out to buy basic necessities or for exercise.

The country has been on high alert since 2015, when Paris was hit by a series of attacks attributed to the Islamic State group.

The motive for the attack remains unclear

The motive is very clear. The French authorities clearly labelled it an islamic terrorist attack. They found documents at his home, one of them being him complaining of "living in a country of infidels"

Call a spade a spade.
based on those two quotes you gave, it doesn't really prove much...

Maybe the guy realized he paid two dollars too much for his pouch of tobacco and went to get revenge and then was found praying to his god because he was freaked out.

I mean, if a guy kills people and then he's found in a closet praying to the christian god no one's going to assume he is trying to continue the crusades or something.

Well, unless Christian fundamentalists had carried out dozens of attacks and scores of murders in the last few years, and then after carrying out an attack that mirrors an MO popular with fundie terrorists your man leaves behind writings describing how much he hates being surrounded by non-Christians. Then people might consider the possibility of a religious motive behind it.

Obvious Islamic terrorism

However didn't ISIS tell their cronies not to travel to Europe for right now? Maybe this terrorist is a member of a sleeper cell.

You'd have thought that for cash-strapped jihadists who don't have the time to make their own hoax suicide vest, this is an ideal opportunity to improvise by waving a dirty handkerchief instead.

If it was an organized effort, I'd call it terrorism, but it looks much more like it's just individuals.
