Paris security forces will receive reinforcements to protect fan zones during Euro 2016 soccer matches held in the French capital, the city's police force said on Thursday. Police chief Michel Cadot's office released a statement after Le Point magazine reported that Cadot had recommended the Eiffel Tower fan zone be closed during games played at stadiums in the city and its outskirts. France, which remains in a state of emergency after militants killed 130 people on Nov.13 in assaults across Paris on cafes, at the national Stade de France stadium and a music hall, hosts the month-long championship from June 10 to July 10.
