A French parliamentary inquiry into last year's deadly terror attacks in Paris is calling for the creation of a single national anti-terrorism agency.
The suggested overhaul of the nation's intelligence services is one of just more than three dozen recommendations made by the commission in a report released Tuesday
The inquiry found the intelligence services lost track of Said Kouachi just months before he and his brother Cherif carried out the January 7 attack on the offices of the weekly Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine that left 12 people dead.
Georges Fenech (zhorzh fen-EK), the head of the commission that conducted the inquiry, says France's intelligence chiefs admitted during the inquiry that the attack on Charlie Hebdo, and the coordinated attacks on the Bataclan concert hall, a sports stadium and several bars and restaurants 10 months later, represented a "global intelligence failure. "
A total of 147 people were killed in the two attacks.
