were part of an Islamist group that was behind foiled attempts to attack France over the past few months.
“This attack was claimed by Islamic State,” Macron said, “and the information available to us, to our services as well as to our main partners, indicates indeed that it was an entity of the Islamic State which instigated this attack. French officials were holding a meeting on Monday to look at specific measures to step up security, such as checking bags on entrance to concert halls or places of worship.
