President Francois Hollande said on the attack:
"Everything will be done to find the perpetrators of this attack and bring them to justice so they receive a sentence in-keeping with the severity of their crime."La Grande Borne is a housing estate, in the Essonne département on the southern outskirts of Paris, France. Built as a 1960s social utopia with winding coloured buildings it was intended to become an ideal dormitory town. In fact, with 11,000 inhabitants, it has become a by-word for poverty, drug dealing, arms trafficking, youth criminality and attacks on police, as well as arson attacks on public buildings.
