French Parliament backs new anti-terror law
The French parliament approved a new anti-terrorist law on Tuesday, AFP reports. Earlier in the day, France's interior minister, Gerard Collomb, said that "nobody is safe" in the country as it "is still in a state of war."
The parliament's lower house, the National Assembly, passed the new legislation in the first reading.
The new bill, which seeks to increase law enforcement powers in the fight against terrorism, was supported by 415 lawmakers, with 127 voting against it.
