On Wednesday evening, August 27, a driver deliberately drove a vehicle into pedestrians near the train station in Caen, France, killing two Afghan nationals and injuring nine others. The victims' identities were only recently released.
The first victim, a 35-year-old Afghan man, died at the scene. The second, a 28-year-old Afghan man, died after being transferred to hospital. Among the injured are citizens of France, Egypt, Bangladesh, and Sudan.
Police arrested a 26-year-old Russian national of Chechen origin. The prosecutor ruled out terrorism, stating no signs of extremism or ideological motive were found. Investigators are examining a possible link to tensions between Chechen and Afghan communities.
