France train gunman identified as known Islamist militant Posted: 22 Aug 2015 01:29 PM PDT A gunman overpowered by passengers on a train in France on Friday was known to European authorities as a suspected Islamist militant, provided the identity he has given interrogators is correct, France's interior minister said.

"If the identity he has declared is confirmed, he is a 26-year-old man of Moroccan nationality identified by the Spanish authorities to French intelligence services in February 2014 because of his connections to the radical Islamist movement." He said inquiries in collaboration with other European authorities "should establish precisely the activities and travels of this terrorist".
