PARIS - French prosecutors said the man who was killed during an attempted attack on Orly airport near Paris on Saturday had vowed "to die for Allah".

Authorities said that the suspect, identified as Ziyed Ben Belgacem, a 39-year-old French national, tried to grab an assault rifle from a female soldier who was patrolling the airport before being shot dead, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said.
