Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo told CNN on Tuesday that her city intends
to sue Fox News after it broadcasted interviews asserting that there are
“no-go zones” in the French capital where police and non-Muslims fear
to tread.
"When we're insulted, then I think we'll have to sue, I think we'll have to go to court, in order to have these words removed," Paris’s Socialist mayor said. "The image of Paris has been prejudiced, and the honour of Paris has been prejudiced."
Hidalgo’s comments come despite an apology from Fox news following its incendiary interview with “National Security expert” Nolan Peterson in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, in which he claimed that certain districts of Paris were comparable with Baghdad.
