PARIS - French government on Saturday called for higher vigilance and to further intensify security mainly in public transport after a gunman opened fire against passengers at a Thalys high-speed train injuring three people.

A total of 30,000 policemen, gendarmes and soldiers were poured across the country to protect 5,000 sensitive areas including train stations and airports, according to the statement.
