French cannot protect Hirsi Ali in US
Former Dutch MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali would not be entitled to French state protection in the US even if she was to become a French citizen, reports ANP news service, quoting the French foreign affairs ministry.

The French government can only pay for security to citizens on home soil and to diplomats abroad, the foreign ministry is reported as saying in a statement on Wednesday. Diplomatic sources have confirmed that the French have made the situation clear to the Dutch government on an informal basis, says ANP.
