France deploys 10,000 troops

On January 12th, 2015, France ordered 10,000 troops into the streets to protect sensitive sites after three days of bloodshed and terror, amid the hunt for accomplices to the attacks that left 17 people and the three gunmen dead.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the search is urgent because "the threat is still present" after the attacks that began with a massacre on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and ended when the three attackers were killed in nearly simultaneous raids by security forces.

Meanwhile, France's defense minister said the country is mobilizing 10,000 troops to protect the population. Jean-Yves Le Drian said the deployment will focus on the most sensitive locations. (AP)
