Paris attacker blames Hollande for terror assaults

One of the assailants in Paris Friday mentioned France’s intervention in Syria’s war to justify the attacks, says a witness who was at a concert venue where some 100 people were killed.

“I clearly heard them say ‘It’s the fault of [French President Francois] Hollande, it’s the fault of your president, he should not have intervened in Syria’. They also spoke about Iraq,” says Pierre Janaszak, a radio presenter.
