PARIS: World’s largest museum Louvre that also harbors Mona Lisa was reopened today. It closed its doors to visitors after a machete-wielding 29-year-old Egypt-born Abdullah Reda Refaie al-Hamahmy attacked the guards, slightly injuring one solder. The attacker was shot and injured critically.
According to Sahibzada Ateeq, NewsPakistan.TV correspondent here, the accused was shot four times in the lower abdomen. With bullets in his vital organs including kidneys chances of attacker’s survival seem to be slim.
The accused, who (in accordance with initial reports) does not have a criminal record, is thought to have travelled on a tourist visa last month from Dubai.
The French security agencies are still endeavoring to find out whether he was associated with any belligerent group.

Trump too caught at the opportunity:
