Prime Minister Valls announced that France is deploying an additional 300 security forces to patrol public areas during the Christmas holiday, following three attacks over the past week. Authorities arrested a man this morning who was carrying two shotguns and a knife at a market in Cannes. Officials are playing down suspicions that the recent attacks were coordinated or linked to terrorism. The first issue of a pro-Islamic State magazine in French appeared on social media yesterday.
