France Strengthens Border Security Measures with Belgium After Brussels Attack

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has requested enhanced monitoring measures on France's border with Belgium following the killing of two Swedes in an armed attack in Brussels, according to AFP. Last night, two Swedes were shot dead in northern Brussels by an assailant who escaped on a motorcycle, a move described by Prime Minister Alexander De Croo as a "cowardly attack," urging his fellow citizens to unite "in the fight against terrorism." Today, it was announced that the perpetrator of the Brussels attack has been arrested and is injured. On Friday, the French government raised the alert level in the security warning system to the highest degree after a teacher was fatally stabbed by a former student in a high school in Arras, in the north of the country. French authorities have detained the attacker, a 20-year-old man.
