Paris attacks: French PM Manuel Valls to extend state of emergency

  • 7 years ago
After last year's November 13 Paris terror attacks, France's state of emergency will likely be extended, according to the BBC. Marking the first anniversary of the attacks by Islamist militants, France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls said such measures are necessary to protect democracy. On the eve of the anniversary of the massacre, the Bataclan concert hall, the scene of the deadliest attack, reopened with a performance by British artist Sting. The deadly terror attacks occurred on six different sites throughout the city, leaving 130 people dead and hundreds injured.
