TOKYO (Sputnik) – The South Korean government must consider adopting new anti-terrorism bills in light of the recent deadly terrorist attacks in Paris, South Korean President Park Geun-hye said Tuesday.
"I hope that you will make best efforts to protect people's lives to ensure the bills related to terrorism, which have been held up for 14 years, are passed this time," she was quoted as saying by Yonhap news agency.
According to the news outlet, authorities in the country deported about 48 foreigners on suspicions of their affiliation with extremist organizations.
At least 130 people were killed and over 360 injured in suicide bombings and shootings at a football stadium, a concert hall and restaurants in Paris on November 13. Islamic State (ISIL) jihadist group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
