Everyone was asking this question, especially on social media. Is the perpetrator of the terrorist attack in Paris, in which a German tourist was killed, Armand or Iman? As Le Figaro further reported, a document, allegedly an extract from the official gazette of March 22, 2002 containing the naturalisation decree for the attacker’s family members, has not gone unnoticed on X (formerly Twitter). It shows the names, first names and dates of birth of the attacker’s family members. The attacker is named as Iman Rajabpour-Miyandoab, who was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine in March 1997. According to a police source, the terrorist’s first name was changed in 2003 when he was six years old.
For this reason, this person is known to both law enforcement agencies and intelligence services. He has committed several criminal offences in recent years under the first name Armand. This first name also appears on his driving licence and in his criminal record, which is listed in the processing of previous convictions. The reasons for this are not yet known, but the assassin changed his identity when he was still a minor. Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab’s parents had fled from the mullahs’ Iran to France, where they had their first child. He was born in 1997 and is said to have converted to Islam in his youth before showing signs of radicalisation. In the meantime, he had considered going to Syria.
