France is deploying about 15,000 security personnel at sensitive sites across the country, including Jewish schools, as a hunt began for possible accomplices in the worst terror attacks in Paris in more than half a century.
The search for accomplices was prompted in part by a seven-minute video with one of the gunmen declaring allegiance to the Islamic State. The video had a banner detailing the killing of four people at a kosher grocery where the gunman was shot dead by the police, showing it was edited and posted after his death.
