France’s interior minister has said the country is engaged in a war against Islamist ideology and warned that more Islamic terrorist attacks are likely following Thursday’s knife attack at a church in Nice.

A 21-year-old Tunisian man, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” beheaded an elderly woman and killed two more people at the city’s Notre-Dame church on Thursday morning, according to the authorities.
