This article is for subscribers only.
France’s southwestern region was put on the highest terror alert as a massive search began for the man who killed four people at a Jewish school yesterday and three military personnel of Arab descent last week.
The area’s alert was raised to “scarlet,” the first time in France such as level was reached. The whole country has been under a ‘red” rating since the London bombings in July 2005. Scarlet allows security forces to close schools, public transport and tunnels.
