France will take steps to improve screening after a suspected terrorist attack in Paris on Thursday in which a police employee knifed four colleagues to death and hurt two more, raising questions about national security.
The government will set up two task forces to make proposals by the end of the year to improve screening at the Paris police department intelligence services and at anti-terrorism intelligence services, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe told newspaper Journal du Dimanche in an interview published on Sunday.
