Police raids in Paris after 'terrorist' shot by soldier at Louvre.
'Suspect Abdullah Reda Refaei al-Hamamy is Egyptian and had only been in
France for a matter of days before the attack.
Several police raids have been conducted in Paris after a "terrorist" tried to enter
the Louvre museum carrying machetes.
The suspect has been identified as 29-year-old Abdullah Reda Refaei al-Hamamy,
who lives in the United Arab Emirates but is originally from Egypt, according to
security sources.
He was shot five times after lunging at four French soldiers outside the Paris landmark.

The assailant shouted "Allahu Akbar" while holding a machete in each hand,
and prosecutors said he was hovering between life and death after being subdued
by one of the patrolmen.
A raid was carried out last night at an apartment near the tree-lined Champs-Elysees
where cash, an Egyptian passport, and a driver's licence issued by the UAE were
discovered.
It is believed the suspect arrived in France on 26 January after acquiring a one-month
tourist visa in Dubai. Parisian prosecutor Francois Molins said the suspect had bought
two military machetes at a gun store in Paris on 28 January, and it is believed that the
attacker's return flight to Dubai was scheduled for tomorrow.
The man was wearing a black T-shirt adorned with a skull design when he targeted the
soldiers, and apparently became violent when he was told he could not enter the Louvre
with his bags.
No explosives were found in his backpack, which only contained cans of spray paint...'
