In response to the terrorist attack on the outskirts of Moscow, French President Emmanuel Macron revealed to reporters that the extremist group Islamic State (IS) was planning to carry out a terrorist attack in France. The French government has raised the alert level nationwide to the highest level as the Olympic and Paralympic Games are scheduled to be held this summer.
On the 25th, French President Macron told reporters in French Guiana, where he was visiting, regarding the Islamic State group believed to be involved in the terrorist attack on the outskirts of Moscow, saying, ``There have been multiple terrorist attacks in France in recent months. "I tried to do it," he said, expressing a sense of crisis.
On the 24th, the French Prime Minister's Office raised the country's alert level to the highest level, citing an increased risk of terrorism. This means strengthening security at religious facilities and places where many people gather.
In October last year, immediately after a military conflict broke out in the Gaza Strip, a high school teacher was murdered by a Muslim man, and France raised its three-level alert level to the highest level.
After that, they lowered the rate once, but now they have taken the same measures again.
In France, the Olympic and Paralympic Games are scheduled to be held this summer, mainly at venues in the capital, Paris, and there is growing concern about terrorism.
