00:17France: "Front National will march with the people" - Le Pen
Marine Le Pen, leader of the Front National (FN) party, vowed Saturday speaking from Paris to march with the French people on Sunday - when memorial marches and rallies are planned throughout France to pay tribute to those who were killed in this week's attacks.
Twelve people were killed on Wednesday as gunmen stormed the Charlie Hebdo HQ in Paris. A police woman was killed on Thursday and four people were shot dead in a kosher grocery store on Friday. Police raids killed three suspects - Cherif and Said Kouachi, believed to be the shooters in the Charlie Hebdo attack and Amedy Coulibaly, the man believed to be responsible for the killing of the police officer on Thursday. Hayat Boumeddiene, partner of Coulibaly, is still at large and the subject of a large police operation.
Le Pen has blamed "extreme Islamism" for the violence, and has vowed to tackle it without apology. Despite meeting with French President Francois Hollande on Thursday, Le Pen has not been invited to the national unity march organised for Sunday by Hollande and opposition leader Nicolas Sarkozy. She has spoken out against the FN's 'exclusion.'
