France’s Recent Terrorist Attacks.

On Friday, November 13th, there was a series of coordinated terrorist attacks directed by the Islamic state, ISIS, in France in several locations. There were shootings and suicide bombings in several restaurants and musical venues. There were about 352 people injured to all different kinds of degrees, and at least 129 confirmed deaths.

It started when the killers rented an apartment in Bobigny about a week before pursuing the attack. There was three teams of terrorists that split out between two restaurants and one concert hall. There was a series of coordinated explosions and shootings, and many people were held hostage. It was a grievous time for the people of France. As residents of the U.S., it is only natural for us to feel sympathy for the Parisians, for the French were our first ally and deserve respect. No country should have to go through such a thing. We should all be able to live without being worried about terrorists, for god’s sake.

At first, one of the suspected terrorists were stopped. He was then let go because they did not suspect him anymore, later to find out that he was the guy they were looking for. There is a manhunt going on for the terrorists, and many have already been put on trial. All we can hope for is them to be put to justice, I would say to live in peace, but that seems like a distant reality, now doesn't it?
