Syria War News After the Paris Attacks




Six sites across Paris were attacked, including restaurants and a football stadium. Seven terrorists, working in teams, were killed, but it was not clear whether there might be more.

A French counterterrorism official said authorities were still trying to find out whether the attackers who died in the assault were French residents and whether they had accomplices still waiting to strike. Security was stepped up to guard against further violence.

The White House said President Barack Obama huddled with his national security team Saturday before leaving for the G-20 summit in Turkey.

It said Obama and his aides had seen no intelligence contradicting French assertions that the Islamic State group was behind the Paris attacks. There was no specific threat to the United States at this time, officials said.

Also Saturday, police in Belgium arrested several people during raids in a Brussels neighborhood. The Belgian prosecutor's office said a car rented in Belgium was found near the Batcalan concert hall in Paris, where gunmen massacred audience members during a rock show.

And in Washington, the Pentagon said a senior IS leader had been killed in an airstrike Friday in Libya. Abu Nabil, also known as Wissam Najm Abd Zayd al Zubaydi, was an Iraqi national and longtime al-Qaida operative. Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said the action "demonstrates we will go after ISIL leaders wherever they operate."
