Feb. 4 (UPI) -- The Louvre in Paris reopened Saturday as police conducted raids across the city some 24 hours after a machete-wielding man attempted to attack French soldiers at the museum.
Police identified the attacker as Abdullah Reda Refaei al-Hamamy, a 29-year-old Egyptian man who traveled to Paris from Dubai on a tourist visa on Jan. 26. He is believed to live in the United Arab Emirates.
