Prime Minister Manuel Valls warned Thursday of the danger of an attack in France using “chemical or biological weapons”, in a speech to lawmakers debating the extension of a state of emergency.
“We must not rule anything out,” Valls said. “There is also the risk from chemical or biological weapons,” he added, as parliament debated measures to be taken following the Islamist attacks in Paris.
Valls also called on Europe to urgently adopt measures to share airline passenger information.
“More than ever, it’s time for Europe to adopt the text… to guarantee the traceability of movements, including within the union. It’s a condition of our collective security,” he told lawmakers debating the extension of a state of emergency.
