German Chancellor Angela Merkel's office says French
President Francois Hollande has called the German leader to talk about joint
security operations in the wake of the deadly rampage at a Munich mall.
Merkel's spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer says the
call Saturday reinforced that "in these difficult times, it is good to
know that France and Germany, the French and the Germans, stand closely
together."
She says Merkel and Hollande agreed to
"further intensify" the already good work together on security
issues.
Nine victims and the shooter died in the
attack Friday in Munich, while France on July 14 was hit by a truck attack on a
holiday crowd that killed 84 people in Nice.
