ISIS claimes responsibility for Strasbourg shooting attack
The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist activity online, says the Islamic State group’s Amaq news agency is claiming the gunman who opened fire near a Christmas market in Strasbourg as a “soldier” of the group.
The claim was published shortly after news emerged of a shootout with French police in Strasbourg Thursday night in which a man believed to be the suspect was killed. IS claims of responsibility have often been considered opportunistic in the past.
