Story highlights ISIS claims attacker was "soldier of the Islamic State"

Cameras caught the deadly knife attacks on tape, minister says

(CNN) A knife-wielding man killed two women Sunday at the Saint-Charles train station in Marseille, France, before military police killed the suspect, city police told CNN.

The incident is being treated as a terror attack and has been handed over to a special prosecutor in Paris, according to the prosecutor's office.

Authorities are investigating whether the suspect had links to terror organizations.

Amaq, ISIS' media wing, issued a statement on social media late Sunday calling the attacker a "soldier of the Islamic State."

The statement issued in Arabic said the attacker "implemented the operation as an answer to the call of targeting the coalition countries." France is a member of the US-led coalition battling ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
