France will increase security measures around mosques after the brutal stabbing to death of a Muslim worshiper inside a mosque in the south of the country, the interior minister says.
Speaking to broadcaster BFMTV, Bruno Retailleau says that he had sent a telegram to the country’s prefects “for all the mosques in France to be better protected than they are.”
