France honors those killed in Paris attacks
In his speech, President Hollande said France would “do all it can to destroy this army of fanatics”.
Windows were draped with French flags in an uncharacteristic display of patriotism, but the locked-down courtyard ceremony at the Invalides national monument lacked the defiance of January, when a million people poured through the streets to honor those killed by Islamic extremist gunmen. We will keep going to the stadiums, and especially our beloved national stadium in Saint-Denis.
The decisions were the first in France in the case of suspects appealing measures against them since the November 13 attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. Most were under 35. “France will work tirelessly to protect its children, and will remain itself – such as the dead loved it”.
Countries on the front line, such as small island states that could vanish amid rising seas, were anxious that the Paris attacks would become a distraction for Western countries in particular.
Belgium also issued an global arrest warrant for Mohamed Abrini, 30, who was filmed along with Salah Abdeslam at a petrol station in France on the motorway to Paris in a Renault Clio that was later used in the attacks.
2,500 people gathering in Paris, including some of those injured in the attacks.
Hollande noted that numerous dead, especially those at the Eagles of Death Metal show at the Bataclan, had careers in music a music he said the attackers found intolerable.
Under Article 15 of the European Convention on Human Rights, a signatory can seek a so-called derogation from certain rights in the event of an extreme emergency that threatens the nation.
Another proposed law aims to prevent potential fighters heading to conflict zones like Syria and Iraq by allowing authorities to cancel their passport or identity card if the Justice Ministry has banned them from traveling overseas as a counterterrorism measure.
Abdeslam, the brother of suicide bomber Brahim Abdeslam, is still at large despite a series of police raids across Europe. The city was on the highest security alert and lockdown from Saturday until Thursday.
Hollande has been backed by Germany, which has offered Tornado reconnaissance jets, a naval frigate, and 650 soldiers to relieve French forces in Mali.
He said Thursday that he and President Vladimir Putin had agreed to coordinate air strikes against IS.
Mr Hollande said: “It was this harmony that they wanted to break, shatter”.
“You were partly responsible for what happened to us”.
Hollande’s diplomatic drive has secured some offers of support from France’s allies but also run into coolness and complications. To divide us, to turn us against each other.
The challenge has been made tougher by by a spat between Moscow and Turkey over a downed Russian warplane on the Syrian-Turkish border.
