French people among London attack casualties: French presidency

PARIS, June 4, (APP/AFP); Two French people were injured
in the London attack which left six dead and nearly 50 wounded, the French presidency said on Sunday, with one said to be in serious condition.
Presidential spokesman Christophe Castaner told French radio that “two French people are wounded, one in a serious condition” after the attack in which three men mowed down pedestrians with a van before jumping out and
stabbing passers-by.
The Elysee Palace said in a separate statement that France was doing
everything it could to help the casualties, adding that security would be
tightened for expatriates voting in London on Sunday in the upcoming French
parliamentary election.
“The attack which struck London… is a new abominable, cowardly attack on our free societies,” the presidency said.
President Emmanuel Macron voiced his support for Britain and said France “will continue to fight terrorism with all its powers, alongside the United Kingdom and all affected countries,” the presidency said.
