Don,t cancel the Euro 2016 after attacks

The Euro 2016 finals in France should not be cancelled in the wake of Friday's deadly attacks in Paris, says tournament organiser Jacques Lambert.

Islamic State claimed responsibility after 129 people were killed and more than 350 wounded in the French capital.

Lambert, speaking on French radio station RTL, said: "Wondering whether Euro 2016 must be cancelled is playing the game of the terrorists.

"The risk went up one level in January, it has just gone higher."

It is the second time this year that Paris has suffered attacks. Over three days in early January, Islamist gunmen murdered 18 people after attacking satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a Jewish supermarket and a policewoman on patrol.
