The world watched in horror
as coordinate attacks in Paris Friday night killed at least 129 people.
Here's what we know:
What
happened: Three teams
of terrorists carried out attacks at
six sites in the city, employing seven suicide bombs. Eighty-nine people were
killed at the Bataclan
concert hall , where terrorists triggered (引發)
explosives and fired shots during a performance by the California
rock band Eagles of Death Metal, according to Paris prosecutor (檢察官)
Francois Molins. Other victims were killed at a stadium and at cafes.
American
victim: A
20-year-old college student from California was among those killed in the
attacks, according to California
State University, Long Beach , where she was a student. Nohemi Gonzalez,
a college junior, was attending Strate College
of Design in Paris during a semester abroad.
Claim of responsibility: The Islamic State
claimed responsibility on
Saturday for the attacks in an online statement. French President Francois
Hollande described the
assaults as "an act of war."
Terrorist named: Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins
said one of the attackers has been identified as 29-year-old Frenchman Ismael
Mostefai. Mostefai was identified after part of his finger was found at the
Bataclan concert hall, according to local media.
Syrian (敘利亞的) passport found: Police said a Syrian
passport was found on the body of one suicide bomber, fueling fears that terrorists
could enter Europe as migrants or
refugees.
High
security: Putting France's
security at its highest level, Hollande vowed to hit back against the militants
and declared three days of national mourning. U.S. cities
and venues (管轄地)
are also on high alert, though no specific threat has been
made.
