France and the United States have also ramped up airstrikes against ISIS in response to the attacks in Paris that killed 129 people Friday. In France and Belgium, authorities have carried out a wave of raids in search of a suspect who escaped. French President François Hollande has requested a sweeping expansion of state power, calling for measures to ease police raids without a warrant, allow the government to strip citizenship from dual passport holders convicted of terrorism, and expand the current state of emergency for three months. Addressing Parliament, Hollande sought changes to the French constitution.
French President François Hollande: “I honestly believe that we need to update our constitution to allow the authorities to act within the law against the terrorism of war.”
