France will take steps to improve screening after a suspected terrorist attack in Paris in which a police employee knifed four colleagues to death and hurt two more, raising questions about national security.
The government will set up two task forces to make proposals by the end of the year to improve screening at the Paris police department intelligence services and at anti-terrorism intelligence services, PM Edouard Philippe told newspaper Journal du Dimanche.
The assault comes some three months after France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard warned that the threat of terrorism had returned. A wave of attacks has shaken the country since 2015, after assaults in the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher grocery killed 17 people in Paris and then 130 at the Bataclan concert hall in the French capital.
