Numerous jihadist documents have been found on Algerian's computer.

The suspect, who could be turned off quickly, has told him that he is self-employed and very quickly radicalized via the internet. He went to court on the square in front of the famous cathedral with a hammer, 'this is for Syria,' shouting. Another agent shot him down. Investigators later found a video with a support letter for IS in the home of the suspect.
