A horrific crime inside a French mosque: 50 stabs and a video documenting the murder.

A French young man of Bosnian origin, aged 20, living on social benefits and spending most of his time playing video games, committed a horrific crime inside a mosque in the town of "La Grand-Combe" in southern France. On Friday morning, he entered the "Khadija" mosque at 8 a.m., where the Malian financial student Abu Bakr, 23 years old, was preparing to clean the mosque before Friday prayers. He was alone there, praying devoutly, not expecting that moment of prostration to turn into his last farewell. Deceptively calm, the killer stood beside him pretending to prepare for prayer, then suddenly attacked him with 50 fatal stabs, leaving him lifeless in his blood. The perpetrator did not stop there, but recorded his crime on his mobile phone, capturing the moment of his victim's death, then fled the scene and broadcasted the clip on the Discord platform before later deleting it. The victim, known and beloved in the local community, held a professional certificate in construction from a private institute and lived in a neighborhood near the mosque. When his body was found three hours after the crime, the mosque was filled with shocked worshippers, and the French police mobilized their forces, with investigators from the anti-terrorism unit in Paris arriving to participate in the investigation. The killer did not know the victim, and the motive remains unknown, but the public prosecutor is considering the hypothesis of a racially motivated or religiously motivated crime, in addition to examining his mental state. In the video he recorded, the killer said in a cold voice: "I did it... they will definitely arrest me," after noticing the presence of surveillance cameras that captured the entire incident. The French Prime Minister condemned the heinous act, describing it as "an act against Islam," while the Interior Minister affirmed that "assassinating a person in a sacred place of worship is a crime that touches the hearts of all believers." As for the town's residents, they began collecting donations to repatriate Abu Bakr's body to Mali, where his family awaits to bid him a final farewell. This painful story, which has shaken the feelings of both Muslims and French people, reopens the file on hatred and violence, shedding light on the fragility of coexistence, even in the most sacred places.
