Warplanes took off Monday from France's Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, newly deployed to the eastern Mediterranean, for operations over areas held by the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, military sources said.Rafale jets loaded with bombs were catapulted from the carrier's flight deck Monday morning, an AFP reporter saw.
Speaking to AFP, the sources did not indicate the nature of the operations, which come 10 days after the deadly attacks in Paris that left 130 dead. French President Francois Hollande said earlier in Paris: "We will intensify our strikes, choosing targets that will do the most damage possible to this army of terrorists."
The Charles De Gaulle has 26 fighters, more than doubling France's strike capacity in the US-led mission against IS. France already has six Mirage and six Rafale jets stationed in the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. (AFP)

What We Know and Don’t Know
French warplanes struck Islamic State militants in Syria, two days after Islamic State terrorists killed at least 129 people in Paris. The airstrikes appeared to be focused on Raqqa, the self-proclaimed capital of the Islamic State.
More than 190 people were still hospitalized today in Paris hospitals — 42 in intensive care; a total of 415 had been injured, hospital officials said.
French authorities were on a manhunt for Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old-man identified today as a possible suspect in the Friday attacks. Belgian officials said that Mr. Salah’s brother Ibrahim died in the attacks on Friday and that another brother, Mohamed, was detained on Saturday in the Molenbeek area of Brussels. Seven arrests so far in Belgium opened the possibility that the plot had roots there.

Big questions remain over Paris attacks
In less than a week after the Paris attacks, French police have managed to track and kill one of the most-wanted Islamic State jihadists and a "ringleader" of the carnage, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
However, as investigators weave together a complex web of clues pointing to a sophisticated logistical operation that took place under the nose of European intelligence officers, several burning questions remain.
How did no one know Abaaoud was in Europe?

France and neighbouring countries are on high alert after the Paris attacks, which killed 129 people and wounded hundreds more
President Francois Hollande says France is "at war" with so-called Islamic State (IS).
Here we look at the international impact of the attacks and the lessons the authorities are trying to draw from it.
- Are the attacks over?
- How was the plot hatched?
- Why weren't the attackers stopped?
- How significant is the Belgian connection?
- Has Europe lost control of its borders?
- Will there be a repeat of the Paris attacks in France or elsewhere?

Investigators face huge task
News that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, believed to be the ringleader of the Paris attacks, had died during a French police raid came as a welcome win for investigators.
At the same time though, they realise the Belgian jihadist's whereabouts was just one strand in a complex and evolving investigation being pursued under the enormous pressure created by the knowledge that their enemy may launch murderous follow-on attacks at any moment.
On Wednesday evening, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins caused consternation when he revealed that "a new cell was neutralised" during the bloody raid of a flat in Saint Denis and that "this team would have been able to carry on other attacks".

What happened on the night
The attacks have been described by President Francois Hollande as an "act of war" organised by the Islamic State (IS) militant group.
Shootings and bomb blasts left at least 129 people dead and hundreds wounded, with more than 100 in a critical condition. "Three co-ordinated teams" appear to have been behind the attacks, according to Paris chief prosecutor Francois Molins.
French police have carried out more than 150 raids across the country, as the search for suspects continues. Raids have also taken place in the Belgian city of Brussels. This is how the attacks happened:
21:20 (20:20 GMT) First explosion at the Stade de France
21:25 Gun attack on Rue Alibert
21:32 Diners shot in Rue de la Fontaine au Roi

What we know so far
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve says 115,000 security personnel have been mobilized after Friday’s attacks that killed 129 people. France also carried out 128 raids on suspected militants overnight, he said. Separately, French air strikes in Syria targeted the Islamic State overnight.
President Francois Hollande called for constitutional amendments that he said would make it easier to respond to terrorist attacks. He also called for, among other steps, the power to strip the French citizenship of dual nationals convicted of terrorism.
President Obama called the Islamic State the “face of evil,” but ruled out sending ground troops into Syria as a response to the attack on Paris.

Manhunt underway for possible suspect in attacks
In the aftermath of one of the deadliest terror attacks on European soil in over a decade, details are emerging about backgrounds of the men who are suspected of pulling off the attacks.
Paris was wracked by a series of shootings and explosions on Friday night, killing at least 129 people and injuring hundreds more.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, which French officials say was carried out by three teams of extremists.

What do we know about the seven ISIS terror gang so far?
Two of the seven strong ISIS terror gang who unleashed the massacre in Paris have now been named as investigations into the atrocity continues.
One has been identified a petty French thief Omar Ismail Mostefai and the other as Ahmed Almuhamed who reportedly got into France posing as a Syrian refugee. Mostefai is the first Jihadi suicide bomber named in connection with the Paris terrorist attacks that left at least 129 people dead and he was identified by his finger print.
The digit was found among the carnage of the Bataclan concert hall, where the 29-year-old was one of three men who blew himself up killing 89 men, women and children.

What We Know About the Paris Attackers So Far
Coordinated terror attacks took the lives of at least 129 people in Paris Friday night. The Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) has claimed responsibility, but little is known about the people who carried out the shootings and bombings in France. Here’s what we know so far about the attackers.
Who were the attackers? ISIS has claimed responsibility for the six coordinated terror attacks, calling them “the first of the storm.”
“Eight brothers carrying explosive belts and guns targeted areas in the heart of the French capital that were specifically chosen in advance,” the ISIS statement said in French. Two of the targets included a soccer stadium where François Hollande was attending a game against Germany and a concert hall, where “a party of perversity” was taking place.

The Paris assailants: what we know
Investigators probing the deadly Paris attacks have so far identified five of seven gunmen and suicide bombers whose bodies were found at three sites across the city, while the hunt is on for others.
Here is a look at the men behind France's worst-ever terror attacks, which struck a concert venue, bars, restaurants, and a stadium:

Here’s what we know so far about the suspects in the Paris attacks
Several teams of terrorists carried out bombings and shootings across Paris on Friday night, killing 129 people and injuring more than 350.
The terrorist group ISIS (also known as the Islamic State) has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Seven attackers have died — six by blowing themselves up, and one in a shootout with police — but authorities are now searching for an eighth person involved in the attacks.

Paris attacks: What we know about the suspects so far
Most of the 129 confirmed fatalities resulted from the mass shooting at the Bataclan theatre at about 9.20pm on Friday. Other deaths came after suicide bombings and shootings around the same time in five other locations, including restaurants and a soccer stadium.
More than 350 people were wounded, with at least 99 of them in critical condition, Paris officials said. It is the worst terrorist attack in Europe in 11 years, since the co-ordinated bombings of commuter trains in Madrid killed 191 and wounded 1,800 in 2004.
The assaults were carried out by three co-ordinated teams.

A state of emergency has been declared in France after terror attacks in Paris in which 129 people have died.
There were two suicide attacks and a bombing near the Stade de France stadium, shootings at restaurants and a massacre inside the Bataclan theatre where US rock band Eagles of Death Metal were playing.
French President Francois Hollande called the attacks - the worst violence to hit France since the Second World War - "an act of war" and said ISIS is responsible.

Here's What You Should Know About the Paris Attacks
Paris was targeted in a series of terror attacks spanning the city on Friday night when a France-Germany soccer game ensured a large crowd. At least 132 people have been killed, and French president François Hollande has officially declared a state of emergency. News sites are milling out the facts as they come, and social media is saturated with moral support for the country. Here’s what we know so far.
The attackers were Islamic State militants. Following the attacks, ISIS released a statement claiming responsibility. The group sent in eight fighters with suicide bombing belts and machine guns to “Let France and all nations following its path know that they will continue to be at the top of the target list for the Islamic State and that the smell of death will not leave their nostrils as long as they partake in the crusader campaign.” The New York Times reports that three of the attackers were brothers. One died during the attacks, and another was detained in Brussels on Saturday. French authorities are currently searching for the third brother, Abdeslam Salah. They have released his photo to the public but warn that he’s dangerous, and say that, if they spot him, civilians should not intervene on their own “under any circumstances.”
Refugees are now in crisis more than ever. It has been reported that at least one of the attackers smuggled into Paris with refugees. Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush appeared on State of the Union with Jake Tapper this morning to discuss the evolving concern of terrorism. He echoed multiple other candidates in saying that we need to eradicate ISIS, adding that we have to be very careful when taking in refugees. He advocates more thorough screening and limiting the number that we accept in order to prevent national crises both in the U.S. as well as in other countries. He asserted, “This is a warning for our country that this threat is not going to go away. This is a threat against western civilization, and we need to lead.” ISIS claims that these attacks are the “first of the storm.”

As Paris assesses the full toll of Friday night's terrorist attacks that hit six locations in and around the city, here's what we know so far:
The Victims - The attacks that began around 9:20 p.m. local time killed 129 people, French officials say, and left at least 352 more wounded — with 99 of them in critical condition. The victims were attacked at several sites across the French capital.
The first casualty was a person standing near a suicide bomber outside the Stade de France. As the attacks unfolded, there were multiple explosions — which authorities describe as suicide bombings — outside the national soccer stadium. The French national team was taking on Germany at the time of the blasts, with French President Francois Hollande in attendance, and multiple explosions were audible from within the stadium. Law enforcement officials in the U.S. and France told NPR's Dina Temple-Raston that the increased security detail because of the president's presence may have dissuaded the attackers from trying to enter.

ISIS Claims Responsibility for Blasts That Killed Dozens in Beirut
A fiery double suicide bombing terrorized a mostly Shiite residential area of southern Beirut on Thursday, ripping through a busy shopping district at rush hour. The Lebanese Health Ministry said at least 43 people had been killed and more than 200 wounded in the worst attack to strike the city in years.
The Islamic State extremist group, which controls parts of neighboring Syria, claimed responsibility for the attack. The group portrayed its motives as baldly sectarian, saying it had targeted Shiite Muslims, whom it views as apostates. It mentioned almost as an afterthought that it had targeted Hezbollah, the Shiite militant organization that backs the Syrian government in the civil war raging next door.

ISIS warns of fresh attacks on Washington in the third video to threaten America in as many days

Speaking in the footage, a jihadi with a long beard and dressed in a headdress and robe worn by many ISIS fighters, warns: 'We started with [Paris] and we shall finish with the false White House.' He continues: 'We shall render [the White House] black with our fire, Allah willing.'
The professionally-produced clip was filmed in ISIS-controlled Dijlah province, to the north of Iraqi capital Baghdad, according to the Middle East Research Institute, which translated the footage.

ISIS Just Released Shocking New Video Making Biggest Threat Yet To US
ISIS has gained a reputation for its brutal videos, some of which feature people being beheaded on camera. In the wake of the violent terrorist attacks in Paris which ISIS has claimed responsibility for, ISIS has now identified in its videos one of its next targets for destruction: the United States.
One video features an ISIS terrorist threatening to blow up the White House. The Middle East Media Research Institute claims the video was produced by ISIS in Diljah province in Iraq.
An ISIS fighter in the video proclaims in a segment of the video titled “Paris Before Rome:” “Oh Crusader France, Allah willing we shall pulverize your palaces. Allah willing, you shall know no happiness, and will not live for long. We started with you and we shall finish with the false White House which we shall render black with our fire, Allah willing. We shall blow it up like we blew up the false idols in this good land.”
Another terrorist in the video says: “Allah willing, we shall roast them with [explosive] belts and car bombs. We should follow them wherever they may go and Allah willing we should lead them like slaves, like dogs.” This video is not the only ISIS video released after the Paris attacks which threatens the United States. A different video praises the Paris attacks and then uses footage from an April video that shows a terrorist assembling a bomb and then zipping his jacket over the suicide belt in preparation for an attack on New York City’s Times Square.

New ISIS video threatens to blow up White House; turn it ‘black’
Islamic State has released yet another video message. In this one, it threatens to blow up the White House – the second time this week ISIS has vowed to attack Washington. The terrorists had already posted a video threatening to blow up New York.
In a one-minute video titled Paris before Rome, a bearded man in a turban menaces the US with threats of suicide attacks and car bombings. Speaking in Arabic on behalf of fellow jihadists, he warns that other states will face attacks similar to the ones carried out in Paris should they follow the example of French President Francois Hollande and US President Barack Obama.
As the video continues, another Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS/ISIL) member says that they started with Paris but are going to finish with the White House, which they will render black with fire. The jihadists threaten to blow up the presidential residence, equating it with false idols.
