Paris attacks: 'France will destroy IS' - Hollande | |
(35 minutes later) | |
France is committed to "destroying" the so-called Islamic State group after Friday's deadly attacks, President Francois Hollande has told a rare joint sitting of both houses of parliament. | |
He said he would table a bill to extend the state of emergency declared after the attacks for three months. | |
France's military campaign against IS in Iraq and Syria would also intensify. | |
IS says it carried out the attacks on bars, restaurants, a concert hall and a stadium in which 129 people died. | |
Mr Hollande said he would meet US President Barack Obama and Russian Vladimir Putin in the coming days to discuss action against the group. | |
He promised more resources for the security forces and said the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier would be sent on Thursday to bolster the military campaign against IS. |
