Kerry in Paris to show US support for France after attacks

“For the second time in 24 hours the French military conducted an air raid against Daesh in Raqqa in Syria”, it said in a statement, using another name for the jihadist group.

‘I remind you that Salah has never been able to tell his side of the story to the police and that he is therefore presumed innocent’. Hadfi, the report says, detonated himself outside the Stade de France, while Abdeslam detonated on the Boulevard Voltaire.

French officials initially said eight attackers died on Friday, but on Saturday night said that only seven were dead – six by detonating suicide bombs and one in a shoot-out with the police.

Speaking to reporters at the residence of the USA ambassador to France, Kerry said the ceasefire envisioned by the political process agreed upon in Vienna on Saturday would exponentially help efforts to fight the Islamic State group, which has claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks that killed 129 people, as well as end the drawn-out Syrian conflict, which has gone on for over four years. “On Friday evening he was with a friend in Liege where they were working on a project renovating a bar”, she said, adding that the friend’s testimony and telephone records showed that he was not in Paris on Friday.

“There were only guards around the depots and barracks and most of those killed were at the checkpoints”, he said.

The strikes destroyed a command centre and training centre. Three officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to provide details about the ongoing investigation.

France’s prime minister says some of the victims have not yet been identified, as police in several countries continue to search for those involved in last week’s attacks.

A cease-fire between Syria’s government and the opposition could be just weeks away, Kerry said, describing it as potentially a “gigantic step” toward deeper worldwide cooperation against IS.

Hollande pledged that France would intensify the assaults on Islamic State, and said he would meet US President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming days to urge them to pool their resources. A soccer match between Germany and the Netherlands was canceled before kickoff and the stadium was evacuated.

Lower Saxony state Interior Minister Boris Pistorius said the match was called off after “vague” information that solidified late in the day.

“We need to understand how this barbarism can exist and why France is paying this heavy price”, David Boy, a 52-year-old advertising agency boss said, his lips trembling as he lingered at one of the memorials on his way to work.
