BELGRADE - Fox News reported that an assailant shouting "Allahu Akbar" was fatally shot outside the Israeli Embassy in Belgrade, citing police in its report on the incident. According to the outlet's summary, the attacker had attacked a Gendarmerie officer before being fatally shot by that officer.
The New York Times reported that a knife-wielding attacker was fatally shot outside the Israeli Embassy in Serbia, in an account by Lynsey Chutel and Alisa Dogramadzieva. Its summary said the attacker was a minor who appeared to be a supporter of the Islamic State, according to the government. The Times also reported that authorities have described the attack as a terrorist attack.
The two accounts differ on several details. Fox News cited police and said the officer was the one who fired, while The New York Times cited the government and authorities. The Times described a knife, but the Fox News summary does not mention a weapon. Fox News described the attacker as shouting, and the Times identified the attacker as a minor, an age that Fox News did not give.
Neither the Fox News nor the New York Times summary names the attacker or describes any other injuries. Those points remain unclear from the material available for this report.
