The deadly attack near the Eiffel Tower sparks outrage and raises many questions about the security and management of radicalized individuals. The attacker, Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, a 26-year-old man known for his radical Islamism and psychiatric disorders, said he acted in “reaction to the persecution of Muslims around the world.” This attack, which occurred in a symbolic location, takes on particular significance in the context of the Summer Olympic Games which will take place in the French capital.
The arrest of the attacker also raises questions about the dysfunctions of medical monitoring. Despite his radicalization and his psychiatric disorders, he was subject to a treatment order involving strict psychiatric monitoring. However, it appears that this follow-up was not enough to prevent the attack. This raises the question of the treatment of radicalized individuals with psychiatric disorders and the need for more rigorous monitoring.
At the same time, a woman already known to the intelligence services was taken into custody, and investigators are seeking to determine her possible role in the attack. It is essential to understand whether it could have played a role in the radicalization of the attacker or in the preparation of the attack.
This tragic event once again highlights the need to strengthen security and vigilance in the face of the terrorist threat. The government has already activated the maximum level of the Vigipirate plan and some voices are even calling for an extension of “safety detention” for those convicted of terrorist acts. It is essential to protect the French in the face of this growing threat.
In conclusion, the attack near the Eiffel Tower highlights the challenges authorities face in the face of radicalization and psychiatric disorders. It is essential to improve medical monitoring of radicalized individuals and ensure increased vigilance to prevent such attacks in the future. The safety of citizens must be a top priority, and additional measures must be taken to ensure their protection.
