Louvre museum attacker was Egyptian national?
Prosecutor Francois Molins was quoted as saying by BBC that the attacker is thought to have travelled to Paris from Dubai on a tourist visa last month.
A soldier shot the machete-wielding attacker, leaving him injured on Friday.
Hundreds of visitors were present inside the Louvre museum when the incident took place.
Reacting to the incident, US President Donald Trump tweeted: "A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S."
