After his arrest on Saturday evening, he told the police “that he was angry with what was happening in Gaza, that France would be complicit in what Israel was doing. He would have said that he was tired of seeing Muslims die, both in Afghanistan and in Palestine,” said the Minister of the Interior. “Recent news might have caused him to decompensate,” judges the security source.

Investigators will also look into his medical follow-up. “Was he being medically monitored as he should have been and as he was for a time? This is a subject that will arise”, in the investigation, according to the security source.

According to a source close to intelligence, 20% of the approximately 5,000 monitored for radicalization in France suffer from psychiatric disorders. Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab also had “significant digital activity”.

Sunday evening, the anti-terrorist prosecutor confirmed the existence of a video protesting his act, posted on social networks. In this video, Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab pledges allegiance to the Islamic State (IS) group

Speaking in Arabic in this video, Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, gave “his support to the jihadists acting in different areas”, declared Jean-François Ricard at a press conference. “This video was notably posted online on his X account (formerly Twitter)”, opened at the beginning of October and which included “numerous publications on Hamas, Gaza and more generally Palestine”, according to the magistrate.
