According to reports, the Islamic State terror group has claimed responsibility for the coordinated shootings and bombings across Paris on Friday night. The attacks came just hours after British ISIS executioner Jihadi John was said to have been killed by a US drone strike in Syria.
France President Francois Hollande said France will be "merciless" against those behind the deadliest attacks in the country in decades.
Gunmen and bombers attacked restaurants, a concert hall and a sports stadium at locations across Paris on Friday, killing at least 120 people in a deadly rampage that a shaken President Francois Hollande called an unprecedented terrorist attack.
The coordinated assault came as France, a founder member of the U.S.-led coalition waging air strikes against Islamic State fighters in Syria and Iraq, was on high alert for terrorist attacks ahead of a global climate conference due to open later this month.
