"World leaders Gather in Paris for Unity Rally
Story highlights
- Government officials say "exceptional measures" will be in place to protect massive "unity rally"
- Numerous dignitaries and world leaders to be protected by special units, officials say
(CNN)Dignitaries and world leaders are expected to join hundreds of thousands of people in France on Sunday in what government officials are calling a "unity rally" in defiance of a terrorism spree that claimed 17 lives.
French officials announced "exceptional measures" to protect not only the throngs expected to gather near the Place de la Republique in central Paris, but also a veritable who's who of foreign leaders that will test security forces of a nation rocked by days of terrorist violence.
The massive 3 p.m. (9 a.m. ET) rally comes as French law enforcement officers are being told to erase their social media presence and to carry their weapons at all times because terror sleeper cells have been activated over the last 24 hours in the country, a French police source who attended a briefing Saturday told CNN terror analyst Samuel Laurent.
Amedy Coulibaly, a suspect killed Friday during a deadly kosher market hostage siege, had made several phone calls about targeting police officers in France, according to the source."
