Islamic State claims responsibility for Paris attacks

Islamic State jihadists claim responsibility for Friday’s series of coordinated attacks by suicide bombers and gunmen in Paris that killed at least 127 people.

In a statement issued online, Islamic State says that “eight brothers wearing explosive belts and carrying assault rifles” conducted a “blessed attack on… Crusader France.”

French President Francois Hollande also blames the Islamic extremist group, calling the coordinated assault an “act of war.”
