French Prime Minister Manuel Valls says more attacks are being prepared not just against France but also elsewhere in Europe.

“We know that operations were being prepared and are still being prepared, not only against France but other European countries, too,” he told RTL radio on Monday.

The French prime minister said that Paris attacks were “organized, thought out, planned out of Syria,” warning that, “Terrorists can hit again in the coming days or weeks.”

“We should not be afraid. We should be prepared for it,” Valls added.

France is at war with terrorism and will act accordingly. “We will respond blow for blow,” he said. “We will act, we will strike and we will win.”
