Paris Terror Attacks: Mourning, Vigilance Following Tragedies in France

SkyCaptain86/iStock/Thinkstock(PARIS) — After three days of violence, the French government urged citizens on Saturday to remain vigilant for more attacks.

Key members of the French government met on Saturday regarding new measures aimed at thwarting a repeat of the attacks in Paris.

The warning came a day after law enforcement shot and killed brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, who were believed to be responsible for the attacks on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead.

In a related incident, police killed Amedy Coulibaly, who is suspected of fatally shot a police officer. He allegedly killed four hostages at a kosher supermarket before police stormed the building.

Police are also still searching for Coulibaly’s companion Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, who is described as possibly being armed and dangerous. She is believed to have been with Coulibaly on Thursday morning when they allegedly shot and killed a policewoman at a subway station.

Thousands of Parisians gathered throughout the city Saturday night to show solidarity against extremism, and mourn the victims of this week’s terror attacks

World leaders have also been phoning President Francois Hollande to express their personal sympathies in the wake of the deadly attacks.

British Prime Minister David Cameron and other European leaders, such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stuff, are expected to join in a large unity rally on Sunday in central Paris that’s expected to draw upwards of a million people.
