Ya’alon: French should have cracked down before attacks
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon says the Paris attacks show Europe needs to make a change in the way it fights terror.
He calls a French version of the US Patriot Act, which gave authorities wider leeway to carry out surveillance and other activities for national security in the wake of the January attacks in France, not far-reaching enough.
“They understood that there was danger but there were steps they needed to take beforehand that they didn’t take,” he tells Army Radio.
