DEFENCE Minister Jean-Yves le Drian ordered 10,000 troops onto the streets of France today to protect sensitive sites amid a hunt for accomplices to last week’s fatal terrorist attacks.

The attacks began last Wednesday with a massacre at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that “the threat is still present.”

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that 4,700 security forces would be assigned to protect France’s 717 Jewish schools.

Paris police are also on the lookout for whoever took and posted online a video of kosher supermarket attacker Amedy Coulibaly.

“The work on these attacks, on these terrorist and barbaric acts continues … because we consider that there are most probably some possible accomplices,” said Mr Valls.

Turkish intelligence announced today that Mr Coulibaly’s partner, Hayat Boumeddiene, had crossed into Islamic State-occupied Syria last Thursday after arriving in Turkey from Spain on January 2.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry accused Ankara of allowing terrorists to cross the border freely.

It said that Turkey helps those who “shed the blood of Syrians and innocent people worldwide” and called on the international community “to stop Turkey’s destructive policy.”

German domestic intelligence chief Hans-Georg Maassen broached the issue as Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu began a visit to Berlin.

Mr Massen noted that 90 per cent of Europe-based extremists travelled to Syria and Iraq via Turkey so it was “all the more necessary that the Turks take further measures.”

The Paris prosecutor’s office announced today that it had opened an investigation into controversial comic Dieudonne after he made a Facebook post in which he said: “I feel like Charlie Coulibaly.”

He was being probed for “defending terrorism,” said prosecutor’s spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said today that the attacks in France highlighted the need to restore anti-terror co-operation between Moscow and the West.

Such co-operation, which the West suspended last year amid tensions over Ukraine, was essential for fighting terror, he said.
