France’s prime minister has warned his country to be prepared for chemical and biological attacks as he told MPs that the ‘macabre imagination’ of ISIS is ‘limitless’. Manuel Valls made the ominous prediction while calling on French MPs to extend the country’s state of emergency for another three months, amid fears another attack is imminent. The warning comes as U.S. security officials report that they have found proof that ISIS is developing bio-weapons with the help of Syrian and Iraqi scientists in the Middle East.

Mr Valls said: ‘Terrorism hit France, not because of what it is doing in Iraq and Syria… but for what it is. We must not rule anything out. I say it with all the precautions needed.But we know and bear in mind that there is also a risk of chemical or bacteriological weapons.
