France: Churches under high security due to Christmas terror threat

“PLACES OF WORSHIP ARE POTENTIAL TARGETS”: FOR CHRISTMAS, INCREASED SECURITY IN CHURCHES

Gérald Darmanin asked the prefects to strengthen the security of the churches on Thursday and Friday. A presence that reassures the parishioners, feeling “safe thanks to them”.

In addition to the health crisis, places of worship are still under vigilance for an attack threat to its maximum. For this Christmas day, like the day before, the security system has been reinforced around the churches. The goal? Reassure the parishioners and impose a “dissuasive” presence.

It’s practically a Christmas tradition in France. Note Google translate used.
