minister

STRASBOURG, France, Dec 12, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – France has raised its
security alert level following the attack on a Christmas market in
Strasbourg, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said early Wednesday.

The government has upped the level to “emergency attack” with “the
implementation of reinforced border controls and tightened controls on all
Christmas markets in France to avoid the risk of a copycat” attack, he said.
