PARIS - Far-right leader and French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen was looking to exploit a shooting in Paris, which killed a policeman, to score political points and divide people, Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said on Friday.

Cazeneuve, a member of France's Socialist government, took aim at Le Pen's reaction to the shooting and also singled out conservative candidate Francois Fillon, criticizing his record on security when he was prime minister.

Cazeneuve knocked back Le Pen's call on Friday to reinstate border checks and expel foreigners on intelligence watchlists, saying she had voted against the government security efforts previously.

He said le Pen was seeking "to exploit fear without any shame." He added that there was nothing in the shooting investigation linking immigration to the incident.
