At least 129 people are dead, and another 349 injured, after the three teams of jihadis attacked the Stade de France football stadium, a handful of bars and cafes, and then finally the Bataclan concert hall. The violence at the Bataclan unfolded as part of a series of co-ordinated ISIS attacks across the heart of Paris on Friday evening in the worst violence to strike France since the Second World War.
The city of love is still reeling from the aftermath. Questions are being raised over government’s ability to restore sense of security — It’s been just 10 months since the Charlie Hebdo attacks brought panic and bloodshed to the streets of Paris. So, where does France go from here? And how does the government restore a sense of security?
While the city ponders and the world prays, here are a few images from the days that followed the attacks:
