Was in Paris last week. My hotel was one block from the Champs Elysees at the Arc de Triomphe. All train stations, the airport, some subway stations and The Eiffel Tower were being patrolled by multiple 3 or 4 man security details armed with assault weapons. Saw no such patrols on the Champs Elysees. They take seem to be taking the threat seriously.
More news: One terrorist killed. An arrest warrant has been issued for a second suspect in the Paris shooting who arrived from Belgium by train. Officials say the suspect in the attack on Paris police officers previously was flagged as an extremist.
We were in Paris October 2001. Standard patrols in Metro stations 3 soldiers with auto weapons, 1 cop walking as a team.
We did see similar teams at the tower, Champs, and the Louvre.
Thanks for the 1st-hand information.
“They take seem to be taking the threat seriously.”
Alas, they must sleep in the bed they have prepared. Would that we were astute to the obvious.
You mean other than the fact that they’re importing Muslims by the thousands?
