Macron pledges to do 'everything' to prevent more Paris attacks

"President Emmanuel Macron pledged that France would do everything to avoid a repeat of the jihadist attacks in Paris 10 years ago that took the lives of 130 people. "Everything will be done to prevent any new attack and to ruthlessly punish those who would dare to attempt it," he said. The surviving member of the 10-person jihadist cell that staged the attacks, 36-year-old Salah Abdeslam, is serving life in jail."

"The other nine attackers blew themselves up or were killed by police in the attack claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group. But Macron warned of another form of jihadism that he called "internal, insidious, less detectable, less predictable". "No one can guarantee the end of attacks, but we can guarantee that for those who take up arms against France, the response will be uncompromising," he said."

President Emmanuel Macron pledged that France will do everything to prevent a repeat of the jihadist attacks in Paris ten years ago that killed 130 people. He said the state will prevent new attacks and ruthlessly punish perpetrators. The surviving member Salah Abdeslam is serving life; nine other attackers died during the assault claimed by Islamic State. US-backed forces defeated the IS proto-state remnants in 2019. Macron warned of an internal, insidious, less detectable form of jihadism. He vowed an uncompromising response to anyone taking up arms against France and said France will continue to track jihadists at home and abroad, noting 85 attacks foiled in ten years, including six this year.
