The Tuesday Jan 13,2015 tribute began with the name of all the victims being read
out in the Assembly, followed by a quiet hush as the chamber stood in
respect.
The vote came after France's worst terrorist attacks in decades last week in Paris, a man claiming allegiance to the Islamic State group killed 4 people in a kosher grocery and a policewoman, while two brothers killed 12 people at Charlie Hebdo newspaper office.
The vote was 488 to 1. One lawmaker argued not to extend the campaign, saying the situation on the ground was improving and warning that more bombing could invite more extremist violence but the government and other lawmakers vigorously defended the campaign
On
Tuesday Jan 13,2015 , France's lower house of Parliament overwhelmingly approved
extending French airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq.
"France is at war with terrorism, jihadism and radical Islamism," Prime
Minister Manuel Valls told the National Assembly to thundering applause
ahead of the vote. "France is not at war with a religion. France is not
at war with Islam and Muslims."
