          Hollande: France Will Not Back Down From Fighting Terrorism

   by Fern Robinson

   French President Francois Hollande says France is not backing down from
   its fight against terrorism despite the release of an Islamic State
   video threatening countries of the U.S.-led coalition against the
   terrorist group. The video is reported to show jihadists involved in
   the deadly attacks in Paris in November.

   Hollande, who is on the second day of a three-day visit to India, said
   Monday in New Delhi, "Nothing will deter us, no threat will make France
   waver in the fight against terrorism."

   Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he invited the French leader
   to India to show their solidarity as both countries have recently
   suffered terrorist attacks.

   ''The two leaders are expected to finalize a multi-billion-dollar deal
   for India to buy 36 French Rafale fighter jets during Hollande's visit.

   The French president will be the guest of honor Tuesday at India's
   Republic Day celebrations.

   Hollande arrived in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh Sunday.
   Chandigarh was designed in the 1950s by Swiss-French architect Le
   Corbusier.

   Hollande is traveling with a large delegation of government officials
   and corporate leaders.
