Madrid: Spain said Thursday it will send 313 Police officers to Paris to bolster security for this summer's Olympic Games as France remains on high alert following attack threats.
The officers, including bomb deactivation experts and sniffer dog teams, will be deployed in response to a request from France for foreign assistance with Games security, the Spanish interior Ministry said in a statement.
France, which will host the games from July 26 to August 11, has raised its security alert to the highest level after the deadly attack at a Moscow concert hall in March.
The Spanish police will stay in Paris for the Paralympics which will be held from August 28 to September 8, the statement added.
