french to test EURO2016 security measures tonight amid fear of terror

Jannat Jalil in Paris reports
Paris Security measures to be used for the Euro 2016 football championship will be tested tonight at a match between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille at the Stade de France, which was targeted in November’s terrorist attacks.
New 2.4 metre-high fencing has been built around the stadium to form what officials say is a “insurmountable wall”. Snipers will posted around the stadium and elite police will be deployed. Around 1,000 security officers and at least 550 police will protect the match, and extra CCTV cameras have been installed and buildings near the stadium will be searched.
In addition to the terror threat, Marseille and Paris fans will be kept apart to avoid violence, a frequent problem at matches between PSG and OM.
France is hosting the Euros from June 10 to July 10, amid heightened fears of another terrorist attack. Ten sniffer-dogs trained to find explosives of the sort used in suicide vests and belts are to be used to screen crowds entering the controversial fan zones where tens of thousands will watch matches on giant screens. Another 30 sniffer dogs are to be deployed at French railway stations.
A former French police chief has warned that the huge fan zone planned near the Eiffel Tower will "offer terrorists a chance to carry out a massacre"..
