.- The trial of an Egyptian who attacked soldiers at the Louvre museum with machetes, shouting "Allah u Akbar" (God is greatest) opened Monday with a description of his "atypical" and enigmatic profile.
Abdalla El Hamahmi, aged 33, is charged with "attempted terrorist murders" and associating with "terrorist criminals".
The married father who did commercial work for a Dubai-based company, faces life in jail for the attack on February 3, 2017.
