U.S. President Barack Obama will invite allies to the White House next month for a security summit focused on preventing violent extremism. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced the invitation, after meeting his European counterparts for similar meetings in Paris on Sunday. The gathering came just days after jihadist gunmen killed 17 people in the worst terrorist attack on France's soil in decades.
Holder said the White House summit will be an opportunity to boost cooperation among nations in an effort to identify threats to international security. Speaking to America's CNN, the attorney general said the U.S. is actively working to identify potential threats.
