Suspects in two terror attacks in Paris
were killed in twin police raids today,
ending three days of intense drama
following the deadliest such assault in the
country in half a century.
Seventeen people, including four hostages
taken today at a kosher grocery, were
killed by the suspected Islamist terrorists
in three discrete yet connected incidents
in the French capital. With shots fired in
quiet Parisian streets, car chases and
hostage-taking, the city was gripped by
tension.
“We will come out of this stronger,”
President Francois Hollande said in a
televised address to the nation. “We are a
free people that won’t give in to pressure,
that isn’t afraid.”
