German phone card, shaky ID for Paris police attacker
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Paris prosecutor says investigators are unsure of the true identity of the man who tried to attack a Paris police station with a butcher knife and a fake explosives vest.
Francois Molins told France-Inter radio Friday that the assailant shot dead on Thursday, the anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, carried a paper marked with the Muslim declaration of faith, an emblem of the Islamic State group, his name, and gave his nationality as Tunisian. Molins said he also had a phone with a German SIM card.
Stopped for a minor theft in 2013 in France's south, the man had identified himself as Ali Sallah and gave his nationality as Moroccan.
