		</div><p>A Frenchman suspected of killing two police officers declared his allegiance to Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and threatened to kill non-believers, according to Paris prosecutor Francois Molins.</p>
<p>Attacker Larossi Abballa made the declaration in exchanges with police during a stand-off on Monday night at a house in the Paris suburb of Magnanville, where a police commander and his partner were found dead.</p>
<p>Mr Molins said Abballa, who was also found dead in the house after the stand-off, responded to IS calls to kill non-believers and their families wherever they live.</p>
<p>The couple&#8217;s three-year-old child was found unharmed in the property after the stand-off.</p>
<p>Abballa is said to have filmed the knife attack before posting it on Facebook Live.</p>
<p>A police official said that at one point in the video, the attacker puzzles over what to do with the child.</p>
<p>IS news agency Amaq cited an unnamed source as saying an IS fighter carried out the attack.</p>
<p>Prosecutor&#8217;s office spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre said French authorities have &#8220;no reason&#8221; to doubt that claim.</p>
<p>Abballa had a list of targets, including journalists and public figures, according to Mr Molins.</p>
<p>Searches of Abballa&#8217;s home had tuned up a list of &#8220;rappers, journalists, police officers and public personalities&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Molins give no further detail on the list, or whether it had specific names.</p>
<p>Mr Molins said Abballa stabbed Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, 42, a police commander in the Paris suburb of Les Mureaux, outside his home on Monday night.</p>
<p>He then went inside and took Salvaing&#8217;s partner and three-year-old son hostage. He killed the woman, who was a police administrator in the suburb of Mantes-la-Jolie, but did not harm the boy, Mr Molins said.</p>
<p>Abballa recorded a 12-minute video related to the attack and posted it on Facebook, Molins said, but he did not provide further details.</p>
<p>The prosecutor added Mr Molins said three people &#8211; aged 27, 29 and 44 &#8211; were detained as part of the investigation.</p>
