NEW YORK (George Curry Media)—Paris, the city of lights, is currently illuminated by flickering candles. The candles, along with flowers and other items, are memorial decorations at the various sites where three hours of carnage by allegedly Jihadi terrorists transpired Friday evening. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the rampage.
There are, reportedly, 129 fatalities, more than 350 wounded, and many of them seriously. According to French officials, there were three teams of terrorists who almost simultaneously targeted a half-dozen sites, none more horrific than the 89 slain in the massacre at Bataclan concert.
Not since the bombings in Madrid in 2004 where 191 people were killed has Europe been rocked with such a horrific terrorist attack.
“The situation here is very sad, and the city is on edge,” said Thierry Fournet in a telephone interview Sunday evening. He’s a journalist and filmmaker who recently returned to his home in France after a brief visit to the states.
