PARIS LATEST – AT 9:14 A.M. ET: The action in France is far from over. From Sky News:
A major police operation is under way in France as tensions remain high across the country after yesterday's terror attack in Paris.
Several armed officers were at the scene of another fatal gun attack this morning in the south of the capital.
A female police officer was killed after she was called to reports of a traffic accident involving a grey Clio at around 7.15am.
A street sweeper was wounded in the shooting, which is also being treated as a terrorist act by the French authorities.
Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said police with heavy armour were seen in Porte de Chatillon shortly afterwards and TV news crews were being pushed back from the area, which was sealed off with tape.
Meanwhile, officers are still hunting for suspects in the deadly gun attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Two men matching their description are said to have robbed a petrol station about an hour's drive northeast of Paris.
COMMENT: I note that the left-wing mayor of New York has largely dismantled the intelligence system set up by former Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, leaving New York more vulnerable to a Paris-type attack. After all, we must not offend other cultures.
I also note that the Obama administration still will not call the Paris attack Islamic terrorism. Why tell the truth when a lie works just as well?
