The threats made by this group
"If you can kill a disbelieving American or European... including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him," he said.
France sought to reassure its citizens with Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve saying: "France is not afraid... France is prepared to respond to their threat."
Jund al-Khilifa, which has pledged allegiance to IS, raised the pressure on Paris with a threat to kill hostage Gourdel within a day.
The group said it had snatched the man in a mountainous region of eastern Algeria where Al-Qaeda is active and that it was responding to the IS call to target citizens of the coalition.
"The threats made by this group are extremely grave and demonstrate the extreme cruelty of (the IS group) and all those associated with it," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said.
