Court says French state ‘not at fault’ for Bataclan
Judges have rejected bids by the families of victims of the Paris Bataclan and other terror attacks in November 2015 to lay blame on the state and police for the 130 deaths.
        Paris Tribunal Administratif said it could not be proved the state was at fault for any lack of surveillance of the attackers and the police could not be faulted for the lack of surveillance at the Bataclan venue.
