France ups security around synagogues after deadly Pittsburgh attack
|
[Times of Israel] PARIS, France ‐ France said it was bolstering security around Jewish houses of worship Saturday, in the wake of a shooting attack that left 11 people dead in a Pittsburgh synagogue.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday said he "strongly condemned the act of anti-Semitism in Pittsburgh."
The French leader said in a tweet that his thoughts were with the victims and offered his support to the grieving families.
A heavily armed gunman opened fire on Jewish congregants during a baby-naming ceremony at the synagogue in the US city earlier in the day, in what appeared to be one of the worst anti-Semitic attacks in American history.

French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner later said in a tweet that he had told local authorities to "increase vigilance around synagogues" from Sunday.
