> A man suspected of a gun attack in the Paris suburbs last week, which killed one person and injured seven, including a child, admitted targeting people he perceived as Muslim, African or North African, prosecutors said Thursday. The attack came as France's political climate grows more tense, six months before next spring's presidential election.
