Paris Attacks: France still on alert as carnage comes to end

President Francois Hollande warned that the danger to France, home to the European Union’s biggest communities of both Muslims and Jews, was not over yet.

“These madmen, fanatics, have nothing to do with the Muslim religion,” Hollande said in a televised address. “France has not seen the end of the threats it faces.”

Following heavy loss of life over three days, which began with the attack on Charlie Hebdo when 12 people were shot dead, French authorities are trying to prevent a rise in vengeful anti-immigrant sentiment.
