We are not afraid, says French minister
Print Edition
FRANCE sought to reassure its citizens yesterday that it was prepared to head off attacks on home soil after the Islamic State group made a chilling call for Muslims to kill civilians whose governments were acting against the jihadists.
“France is not afraid,” Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said repeatedly during a televised statement in response to the threat against members of a US-led anti-jihadist coalition.
“France is prepared to respond to their threat,” said Cazeneuve, adding security forces were “fully mobilized.”
“This is not the first time France has been threatened by terrorist groups who attack the values of tolerance ... respect for human rights and democracy, which France has upheld through its secular history,” he said.
On Friday, France joined the US in carrying out air strikes against the IS group.
Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, the group’s spokesman, urged the killing of an American or a European — “especially the spiteful and filthy French” — or “an Australian, or a Canadian.”
