Most French ready to mobilize to honor victims of terrorist attack: survey

Eighty-one percent of the French said they are ready to mobilize to honor the 12 victims of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, a survey showed on Saturday.

The emotion is stimulated by Friday's hostage-taking at the Porte de Vincennes neighborhood of Paris, which caused four death, according to an exclusive survey of Odoxa published on the local newspaper Le Parisien.

"This does not necessarily mean they will all walk on the street, but the result indicates a potential of a march," the newspaper cited Gael Sliman, president of the Institute Odoxa, as saying.

"Overall, our survey shows that, if the goal of terrorists was to divide and frighten the French, they failed," Le Parisien stressed, adding that the prevailing feeling is anger, then sorrow and solidarity, relegating fear far behind.

The Odoxa survey was conducted among 999 French aged over 18 on the internet from Thursday to Friday. Enditem
