(MENAFN) Hundreds of security forces are scattered across eastern France searching for a 29-year-old man who opened gunfire during a deadly rampage in Strasbourg's famous Christmas market.
The attack on Tuesday night at the market has killed two people, left a third brain-dead and injured 12, and had reminded the nation which was wounded by previous assaults, that terrorism remains a threat.
National police distributed a photo of the wounded fugitive, identified as Cherif Chekatt, with the warning: "Individual dangerous, above all do not intervene."
France raised its three-stage threat index to the highest level and bolstered troops around the country.
