> A man suspected of carrying out a gun attack in the Paris suburbs last week, killing one person and wounding seven others, including a child, admitted to targeting people he perceived as Muslim, African or North African, prosecutors said Thursday. The attack came amid growing political tension, six months before next spring’s presidential election.
