PARIS (Reuters) - France beefed up security in and around the Stade de France on Tuesday for the first international football match to be played at the stadium since the attacks in Paris by militant Islamists on Nov. 13 killed 130 people.
The crowd also observed a minute of silence before the friendly between France and Russia in memory of victims of last week's bombings in Brussels which killed 32 people. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Brussels attacks too.
