PARIS ATTACKS: Francois Hollande urges USA and Russian Federation to fight Islamic State

Hollande appealed for amendments to the constitution that would create “an appropriate tool we can use without having to resort to the state of emergency”, the BBC reported.

On the domestic front, Hollande called for an extension of the state of emergency by three months and announced 8,500 new police and judicial jobs to help counter terrorism.

Molenbeek was home to one of the 2004 Madrid train bombers and the main suspect in the 2014 Jewish Museum attack in Brussels, while the perpetrator of a foiled attack in August on an Amsterdam-Paris train stayed in Molenbeek with his sister before boarding in Brussels.

The other participant named by authorities is Bilal Hadfi, one of the suicide bombers who set off their explosives outside the Stade de France, the national stadium where France’s soccer team was playing Germany.

The Paris prosecutor’s office has identified that attacker as a 31-year-old French citizen but hasn’t disclosed his name.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry flew to Paris on Monday to show American solidarity with France after last week’s deadly attacks.

At least two others are accused of planning the attacks, including Salah Abdeslam, who was questioned by police near the Belgian border, but released.

“No barbarians will prevent us from living how we have made a decision to live, to live fully”, Hollande said. Another, said to have been identified by the print on a recovered finger, was 29-year-old Frenchman Ismael Mostefai, who had a record of petty crime and had been flagged in 2010 for ties to Islamic radicalism.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, Belgian, suspected mastermind of the attacks, apparently in Syria.

France’s Defence Ministry said 12 aircraft dropped a total of 20 bombs Sunday night in the biggest air strikes since France extended its bombing campaign against the extremist group to Syria in September.

A Belgian national now in Syria and believed to be one of Islamic State’s most active operators is suspected of being behind Friday’s attacks in Paris, according to a source close to the French investigation. But the attacks in Paris are a definite wake-up call to the rest of the world that ISIS needs attacking.

The manhunt continued for 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam, one of three brothers linked to the attacks. The passport and a registration document for refugee status issued by Greek authorities led officials to a troubling conclusion, according to a French senator: The bomber was among a group of Syrian refugees who arrived on the Greek island of Leros on October 3. The official did not specify who those three attackers were.

Between 2005-2012, he lived in Chartres, some 90 kilometres (55 miles) southwest of Paris, his former neighbours told AFP, and regularly attended a mosque a few kilometres away in Luce, a source close to the investigation said.

“France is like the USA after 9/11”, said Gerard Grunberg, a senior researcher at the Paris Institute for Political Sciences.

A resident in rue de Prague in Neudorf, in central Strasbourg, east France, reportedly witnessed a man of Abdeslam’s appearance entering the five-storey building at 3.30pm today.
