Paris, November 21 (RHC)-- The French Senate has approved President François Hollande's plan to extend the state of emergency by three months, granting Hollande a sweeping expansion of state powers.
The measures include easing police raids without a warrant and allowing the government to strip citizenship from dual passport holders convicted of terrorism.
