Paris Attacks: Isis 'Chemical Weapons' Warning Issued by French PM Manuel Valls

THE INDEPENDENT: Valls urges French parliament to extend its state of emergency

The Isis militant group could arm itself with biological and chemical weapons in future terror attacks on Europe, the French prime minister has warned.

Manuel Valls said France faced a serious threat from associates linked to the gunmen and bombers who launched attacks across Paris last Friday, killing 129.

"We must not rule anything out," he said. "I say it with all the precautions needed. But we know and bear in mind that there is also a risk of chemical or bacteriological weapons."

Mr Valls presented a bill to the French parliament that would extend the country's state of emergency for another three months. It will then go to the upper house on Friday. » | Adam Withnall | Thursday, November 19, 2015
