November 2015 Paris attacks left 129 people dead and 352 wounded, including 99 who are in a very serious condition. Two of seven terrorists have been named.
ISIS says it carried out the attacks on bars, restaurants, a concert hall and a stadium where they identified the death of 129 people. Mr Hollande is planning to travel to the US in the next couple days to discuss actions against the group withe president Obama and the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr Obama said the US and France had made a new agreement on intelligence sharing but said US military advisers thought sending ground troops to combat Isis would be a mistake.
On Sunday night, French aircraft attacked Raqqa in Syria. The officials said 10 aircraft dropped 20 guided bombs targeting sites including a command centre. ISIS said “the raid targeted empty locations and that there were no casualties”.

I’m glad too see France taking such initiative in fighting ISIS, even implementing changes in their constitution. Russia a surprising country to join the cause is meeting with the United Sates in discussing actions against ISIS. Even China has declared war on ISIS in light of a Chinese citizen being killed in the attacks. It’s nice to see such a diverse reaction to ISIS, uniting countries who are normally bickering and against each other.
