The French government has intensified action against Islamist extremism in recent days after a teacher was beheaded for showing caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in class, President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday (20 October), writes Geert De Clercq.

Macron also said a local group involved in Friday’s beheading attack would be disbanded.

“We know what needs to be done”, Macron told reporters after a meeting with a unit for the fight against Islamism in a northeastern suburb of Paris.
