Actor Kangana Ranaut, who is known for voicing her opinions on domestic and international matters, on Thursday took to her verified Twitter account to express deep anguish and 'disbelief' over the horrific beheading incident in France

The 'Panga' star wrote in her tweet, "Oh no!!!! Another beheading more murders of innocents in the name of ‘Allah’ this is unbearable now, I am in disbelief how can people be so dumb to believe beheading non-believers will please their God ...#FranceBeheading (sic)."

Kangana's tweet came in the wake of the beheading of a woman in the French city of Nice. 

A woman was beheaded by an attacker with a knife who also killed two other people at a church in the French city of Nice on Thursday, police said, in an incident, the city's mayor described as terrorism.

Mayor Christian Estrosi said on Twitter the knife attack had happened in or near the city's Notre Dame church and that police had detained the attacker.

Police said three people were confirmed to have died in the attack and several were injured.

A police source said a woman was decapitated. French politician Marine Le Pen also spoke of a decapitation having occurred in the attack.

The French anti-terrorist prosecutor's department said it had been asked to investigate the attack.

Reuters journalists at the scene said police armed with automatic weapons had put up a security cordon around the church, which is on Nice's Jean Medecin Avenue, the city's main shopping thoroughfare. Ambulances and fire service vehicles were also at the scene.

The attack comes while France is still reeling from the beheading earlier this month of French middle school teacher Samuel Paty in Paris by a man of Chechen origin.

The attacker had said he wanted to punish Paty for showing pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a civics lesson.

It was not immediately clear what the motive was for the Nice attack, or if there was any connection to the cartoons, which Muslims consider to be blasphemous.
