            France's Far-Right Comes Out Strong in Post-Attacks Vote

   by Associated Press

   France's far-right National Front ran strongly in a first-round
   regional vote that was the first election since an attack by Islamic
   extremists left 130 dead in Paris.

   A second-round was planned for Sunday; in the interim other parties
   will negotiate and jostle for position. The National Front was leading
   in six of the 13 regions, including two where it was strongly ahead.

   Party leader Marine Le Pen told BFM television Monday that ``the French
   people have had enough of being treated like a herd of sheep.''

   She is the top candidate in Calais, where thousands of migrants live in
   makeshift camps in hopes of reaching Britain.

   Sunday's vote took place at a time of high tension in France, where
   unease is spreading after terror attacks in January and November.
