Francois Hollande Returns To Paris For Crisis Talks After Nice 'Attack': Presidency

Paris, France: French President Francois Hollande was heading back to Paris early Friday for crisis talks, his office said, after a van drove into a crowd in the resort of Nice in what a local official said was a "major criminal attack".

"He is coming back to Paris and will go directly to Place Beauvau to the crisis cell," the presidency said. Hollande had been in the southern city of Avignon on a private visit.
