PARIS (Reuters) - Paris' police chief said on Monday he would be receiving thousands of reinforcements ahead of the Euro 2016 football tournament and that his force was as prepared as it could be to face the risk of a militant attack in the French capital.

France is in a state of emergency after militants killed 130 people in a series of coordinated assaults across Paris in November. The French, United States and other governments have warned that militants may target the tournament.
