Knife Attacks Shock France, Injuring Children and Toddlers.

Two toddlers stabbed by a knifeman in Annecy, France, were stable but fighting for their lives, as the nation paid tribute to a pilgrim who tried to block the assailant during his attack and then gave chase. Four children and two pensioners were wounded during the assault. A 31-year-old Syrian national, who was granted asylum in Sweden 10 years ago, was arrested and is under investigation for attempted murder. The attack has laid bare the tensions between Europe's free movement rights and the pressure governments in countries like France and Italy are coming under from voters to toughen immigration laws as societies shift rightwards politically.
