Paris prosecutor's office says the suspect in last week's machete attack at the Louvre Museum is facing preliminary charges of attempted murder and association with a terrorist organization.

The 28-year-old suspect — who French officials believe to be Egyptian — was charged Friday.

Paris prosecutor's office said the man, who Egyptian authorities identify as Abdullah Reda Refaie al-Hamahmy, remains hospitalized after he was shot four times during the Feb. 3 attack. His injuries are not life-threatening.

Louvre Museum reopened to the public on Saturday, a day after the attack in which the assailant reportedly shouting "Allahu akbar!" attacked French soldiers guarding the sprawling building.

Reda Refaie al-Hamahmy, the father of the alleged attacker told AP last week that his son is not a terrorist and that he leads a normal life with his wife and infant son.
