Editing Adam Dzaziri

Dzaziri owned a total of nine weapons and had a valid gun permit despite being on a counterterror watchlist.<ref name=tele/> The 31-year-old had a hardline Salafi Islamic ideology and was added to the list in 2015 due to ties to radicalism.<ref name=e247/> French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe noted that removing his gun permit could have jeapordised investigations since a terrorist would immediately know why the permit was revoked, but nonetheless expressed concerns this dangerous man held weapons lawfully.<ref name=nydn/> He came from Parisian suburb Argenteuil,<ref name=tele/> and had no criminal record.<ref name=e247/>

The attack came just months after [[Karim Cheurfi]] attacked police on the Champs-Elysées and was shot dead.
