Paris attacks: French launch raids across country – as it happened on Monday

“We are fully aware that it will take time”.

Upwards of 130 people died in the terrorists’ seven coordinated attacks in Paris Friday night. Seven attackers were killed and Paris and other European authorities continued to search for an eighth terrorist who is the suspected mastermind of the assault. French TV station BMFTV reported that a rocket launcher was among the weapons seized in Lyon overnight, and that five people were arrested. The men were allowed to proceed with their journey because their names had yet to appear on any wanted list. His brother Ibrahim Abdelslam blew himself up in the Bataclan attack. Amimour was placed under judicial supervision, but dropped off authorities’ radar in 2013 and an worldwide arrest warrant was issued.

Hollande said that while Assad could not be part of the solution to the crisis, “our enemy is Daesh (Islamic State)”.

“Everyone knew that this kind of terror was going to happen”, Jean-Pierre Filiu, a longtime former French diplomat in the Middle East, told TIME on Monday.

“France is at war with Islamists that threaten not only our country, but the whole world”, Hollande said, noting that the task to destroy Islamic State was the task for the whole global community.

France was the first European state to join US air strikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq, in September 2014, while a year later it extended its air strikes to Syria. Underlining its resolve, French jets on Sunday launched their biggest raids in Syria to date, hitting its stronghold in Raqqa. This would seem to imply the targets France struck were not particularly important, and may have been chosen more for the low probability of collateral civilian casualties than their military significance. The jets launched from sites in Jordan and the Persian Gulf, in co-ordination with USA forces.

Also on Monday, Turkish officials said they had twice warned France about Omar Ismail Mostefai, 29, another of the Bataclan suicide bombers, but that French authorities had never responded.

Hollande made the request shortly after Obama addressed the Group of 20 summit meeting in Turkey, where Obama announced France and the United States have come to an agreement to streamline to process of intelligence sharing. “But I will start the conversation with [Russian president] Vladimir Putin by talking about the thing that we agree about, which is that ISIL, and this radicalized Islamist extremism, is just as much a threat to Russian Federation – potentially more of a threat to Russian Federation – than it is to Europe”.

Mr. Hollande called Friday’s attacks an “act of war” carried out by IS and will reportedly seek to extend the current state of emergency for three months, a move that would require parliamentary approval. My two brothers were just normal.

For the past year, a U.S.-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The arrest warrant for Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old born in Brussels, calls him very unsafe and warns people not to intervene if they see him.

They “were decided and planned in Syria, prepared and organised in Belgium and perpetrated on our soil with French complicity”, he said.

The French and Belgian militants reportedly communicated beforehand with known members of IS. He said all these countries were sitting at the negotiating table in Vienna at the moment of the Paris terror attacks.

One more suspect remains at large. A trio of suicide bombers began the assault by detonating their explosive belts outside the Stade de France during a match between the German and French national teams.
