Paris

EUROPEAN ministers called on Saturday for more multinational patrols and tickets marked with passengers' names on major continental trains in the wake of the previous week's foiled jihadist attack.

The group of ministers meeting in Paris also called for increased checks on passengers and baggage at major stations and for the European Commission to tighten gun laws, in a joint statement read by French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
