Obama vows to ‘redouble’ efforts to fight IS

US President Barack Obama vows to stand by France in hunting down the Paris attackers and to “redouble” efforts to wipe out the Islamic State jihadist network.

After a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Obama says the two leaders agreed to show solidarity with France in tracking down the perpetrators of the Paris assaults and to boost the campaign to “eliminate” the Islamic State group.

They were meeting at the G20 summit in Antalya, Turkey.
