Acid attack on US students in France ‘not seen as act of terror’

‘French police say an acid attack that injured four American college students in Marseille is not being treated as a terrorist assault.
The four female students were sprayed in the face with acid on Sunday at a train station in the southern French port city of Marseille by a 41-year-old woman, who was quickly detained by police officials.
