MULHOUSE: The hostage-taking ongoing in the southwestern France town of Trebes seems to be a "terrorist act," Prime Minister Edouard Philippe told reporters on Friday.

"The hostage situation is ongoing. The operation is not over," Philippe said during a visit to Mulhouse. "All the information we have as I speak lead us to think that this would be a terrorist act."

Philippe also said that one police officer had been injured but that his life was not in danger.

BFM TV has said the hostage-taker claimed allegiance to Islamic State. Philippe did not mention that.
