Europe on edge with at least one Paris attacker on the run

“The barbarians who attack France would like to disfigure it. They will not make it change”, Hollande pledged.

“A war against a terrorism that has decided itself to wage war against us”, he said.

In the same spirit, he added, “30,000 refugees will be welcomed over the next two years”.

In the morning, the authorities seized and towed a black Renault Clio with Belgian license plates in the 18th Arrondissement on the northern edge of Paris, next to the suburb of Saint-Denis, where three suicide bombers detonated their explosives during a soccer game at the Stade de France. Authorities vowed amid a state of emergency to resume normal life.

In a symbolically powerful move, the Eiffel Tower reopened to tourists after a two-day shutdown.

Hollande is due to meet US President Barack Obama in Washington two days before that to push for a concerted drive against ISIL.

The airstrike campaign is France’s biggest military activity in Syria. Six blew themselves up with suicide belts while police shot to death a seventh.

The official was not authorized to be publicly named according to police rules, but is informed about the operation.

“You do not fight against terrorism by hiding, by putting your life on hold, by suspending economic, social and cultural life, by banning concerts, theater, sports competitions”, he said.

He told embassy staffers that the bonds between the United States and France are stronger than ever and that Friday’s attacks were an assault on civilization and common decency. Another brother, Mohamed Abdeslam, was arrested after the attacks but released.

Mohamed Abdeslam, another brother of fugitive Salah Abdeslam, on Tuesday urged his brother to turn himself in.

He said: “The France is proud to have this quality police force to protect its citizens”. He is featured in a 2014 video apparently taken in Syria boasting of carrying a cargo of slain “infidels” in the back of his vehicle. The latter attack was stopped by American passengers who restrained a gun-toting man before he could open fire.

French authorities said on Wednesday they had identified all the November 13 victims.

The Deftones, Motorhead, and U2 are among the acts who scrapped planned concerts in the city over the weekend, while country singer Brantley Gilbert and the Foo Fighters have pulled the plug on the remaining dates of their European tours in the wake of the terror attacks.

In Brussels, Le Drian invoked the EU’s mutual assistance clause for the first time since the 2009 Lisbon Treaty introduced the possibility, saying he expected help with French operations in Syria, Iraq and Africa.

The shootings were part of a wider, co-ordinated series of attacks staged by ISIS extremists across the French capital, which left more than 120 people dead.

“It is impossible to tell you who was arrested”. They said 24 people were involved: 19 attackers and five who provided logistics and planning.

None of those Iraqi details have been corroborated by officials from France or other Western intelligence agencies. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive investigation.

Such a ceasefire would free nations supporting Syria’s various factions to concentrate more on Islamic State, which is ineligible for the truce and has come under greater military scrutiny since Friday’s attacks in Paris.

Meanwhile, the manhunt for those responsible continued yesterday, with French police conducting more than 160 searches since Sunday night, resulting in the seizure of 31 weapons and 127 arrests.

Their defense lawyers said they could not confirm those reports.
