France's Hollande seeks three-month extension to state of emergency
"The French President has announced that, given the terrorist threat, the government would present (...) a bill extending the state of emergency for a period of three months," the statement from the French presidency read.
Emergency measures that give authorities extra powers to assign house arrests and conduct raids without a judicial warrant had been due to expire on Feb. 26.
