Teen charged in France over Jewish teacher attack
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A French judge has handed preliminary charges of "attempted assassination linked to a terrorist organization" to a machete-wielding teen who attacked a Jewish teacher.
The anti-terrorism section of the prosecutor's office in the French capital announced the charges Wednesday evening, two days after the attack in Marseille that shocked the country.
A leading Jewish authority in the southern French city asked fellow Jews on Tuesday to refrain from wearing their traditional skull cap to stay safe after the incident.

In each case, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility.
