Cannes has banned people taking bags onto its beaches amid fears that France could be hit with further terror attacks.

 

因担忧法国会遭到更多恐怖袭击，法国戛纳沙滩禁止人们携带各式包袋。

 

The town's mayor David Lisnard announced the ban on any bag which could conceal¹ a weapon on Wednesday, in response to the massacre² in Nice almost two weeks ago.

 

The decision also comes the day after an 85-year-old priest was murdered as he performed morning mass in Normandy.

 

According to 20Minutes, a spokesman for Cannes town hall explained: 'The Mayor has put in place additional protection for locals and tourists on the beaches, under the State of Emergency, banning the possession and transporting of large containers (backpacks, suitcases or other luggage), the opacity³ and size could hide dangerous materials, weapons or explosives.'

 

People are being encouraged to carry 'see-through' bags instead, the Mirror claimed.

 

The ban will remain in place until the end of October - comes amid a growing wave of panic in France, which has suffered seven fatal terror attacks since the start of 2015.
