300 searches in Paris since attacks: police chief
French security forces have made nearly 300
searches in the Paris region since the jihadist
attacks of November 13, police chief Michel Cadot
said on Monday.
A total of 298 searches were made, Cadot
said.
He added there were 10,200 police and
6,400 soldiers deployed across the region
that includes the capital — prioritising
stations, airports, large public spaces,
government buildings, cultural sites,
media companies and hospitals.
“The threat level remains raised,” said
Cadot.
“We see a number of messages from
Daesh (an alternative name for the
Islamic State group) being broadcast on
the Internet and which clearly target
France.”
He said there had been a small number
of racist or anti-Islamic attacks, but
praised the largely “responsible and
Republican” response of the French
public.
Under the heightened security alert,
schoolchildren will not be allowed to
take part in the UN climate conference
which starts next week just outside Paris,
he added.
