France says it will not repeal headscarf law

PARIS: France will not revoke a law banning head scarves in public schools despite demands by a militant group holding two French journalists hostage in Iraq, the government spokesman told a television on Monday.

The law will be applied, the spokesman told the television Monday, saying the nation would not compromise its national values in the pursuit of winning the hostages' release.

French President Jacques Chirac vowed Sunday to spare no effort to secure the reporters' freedom and dispatched Foreign Minister Michel Barnier to the Middle East.
