Hollande: France Won’t Allow Threats to Weaken It
France’s president says the country will not allow threats to weaken its resolve against terrorism.
Francois Hollande spoke Monday, hours after the Islamic State terror group released a video showing the terrorists – who carried out the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris – training, beheading and shooting captives in territory controlled by the group.
He said that it was because of the threat that he is asking to keep France in a state of emergency. Hollande imposed the state of emergency just after the Nov. 13 attacks that left 130 dead in Paris, allowing border checks, warrantless searches and house arrest without a court order.
The primarily French-language footage released Sunday was apparently filmed in IS territory before the attackers slipped back into Europe.
