(AP) - France's anti-terrorism prosecutor says that a 25-year-old man identified as the killer of two police officials recorded a 12-minute video about the attack, claiming allegiance to Islamic State, and posted it on Facebook.
Francois Molins said Larossi Abballa posted the video late Monday while he was in a standoff with police in the town of Magnanville. Molins did not provide details of what the video contained.
A Facebook account belonging to a Larossi Abballa was taken down Tuesday.
Molins says Abballa killed a policeman then killed his partner after taking her and a 3-year-old child hostage.
