Prime Minister Manuel Valls told parliament: “We must not rule anything out. I say it with all the precautions needed. But we know and bear in mind that there is also a risk of chemical or bacteriological weapons.”
In a speech in the lower house of parliament meant to gain approval to an extension of the state of emergency, he added: "The macabre imagination of the masterminds is limitless.”
It comes after Hollande warned military operations in the Middle East would be intensified in just days after it launched attacks on ISIS, also known as Daesh, destroying a number of targets.
