French President Francois Hollande on Monday said a new Islamic State video released Sunday featuring the messages from nine perpetrators of the Paris massacres which killed 130 people last November, would not deter France from its fight against terrorism.
"Nothing will deter us, no threat will make France waver in the fight against terrorism," Hollande told reporters in New Delhi during an official visit to India.
In the video, the jihadists, speaking in French and in Arabic, say their "message is addressed to all the countries taking part in the (US-led) coalition" that has been fighting IS in Syria and Iraq since September 2014.
The footage also shows a picture of British Prime Minister David Cameron accompanied by the words in English: "Whoever stands in the ranks of kufr (unbelievers) will be a target for our swords."
