Paris attacks: French PM Manuel Valls warns of risk of chemical, biological

Fresh from the grief of a terrorist attack last Friday, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has warned France could face chemical or biological attack from terror groups.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed in Wednesday’s assault by elite police units on an apartment in northern Paris, which left at least two people dead. A woman wearing an explosive suicide vest blew herself up Wednesda… The French lawmakers are debating on a bill extending the state of emergency for another three months.

US President Barack Obama has said that Syria’s civil war could not end unless Assad leaves power. “But we know and bear in mind that there is also a risk of chemical or bacteriological weapons”. “It’s a condition of our collective security”.

France imposed the state of emergency on Saturday, a day after the attacks killed 129 people in the capital, giving police extended powers to search and detain suspects.

Abaaoud, 27, had previously boasted of moving unrestricted between Syria and Belgium despite being flagged by intelligence agencies, while one of the suicide bombers who attacked the Stade de France was found to have used a Syrian passport in the name of Ahmad Al Mohammad to pass through Greece.

More than 350 people were wounded in shootings and bombings at cafes, the national football stadium and a rock concert last Friday.

Belgium has filed terror charges against a third suspect relating to the Paris attacks.

“There is an opening, so to speak, with the Russians”.

He told France-Inter radio that ISIL “is a monster”.

A few of the suspects in the Paris attacks took advantage of Europe’s migrant crisis to “slip in” unnoticed, the French premier said Thursday, warning the European Union needed to “take responsibility” over border controls.

According to the source, after police learnt that Abaaoud was in France and not in Syria as they previously thought, they set out to find Aitboulahcen in the hope he may be with her.

Valls did not say there was a specific threat involving such weapons.

Hours later, a Jewish teacher in the southern city of Marseille was stabbed by three people shouting anti-Semitic obscenities and expressing support for the Isis group, local police said.

Since the attacks, France has implemented numerous measures to thwart further terrorist attacks. In January, jihadist gunmen killed 17 people at Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine, on the streets and in a Jewish supermarket.

The French government also announced that the planned marches during the global climate change talks hosted in Paris from November 29 to December 12 will not be permitted.
