一名持刀男子周四在法国尼斯市的一家教堂里杀害了至少3人。警察打伤了袭击者，将其抓获并随后送往医院。

This was the third attack in two months. French officials have blamed the attacks on Muslim extremists. The latest incident comes at a time of growing Muslim anger over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. They were republished recently in the French magazine Charlie Hebdo. The pictures are protected under free speech laws in France. Muslims, however, consider their publication insulting to God.
