In brief

Police have detained a 35-year-old man after he entered the Saint-Rémi church in Forbach, northeastern France, while armed with a knife and shouting "Allahu Akbar." Two 14-year-old teenagers raised the alarm during the incident in the center of the town.

The suspect, who was born in the former Yugoslavia, is in police custody on charges of glorifying terrorism, according to InfoVaticana. The incident occurred less than three weeks before Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit the nearby city of Metz.
