ISIS Claims Responsibility for Attack on France

“The Islamic State claimed responsibility on Saturday for the catastrophic attacks in the French capital, calling them ‘the first of the storm’ and mocking France as a ‘capital of prostitution and obscenity,’ according to statements released in multiple languages on one of the terror group’s encrypted messaging accounts,” the New York Times reports.

Time: “If the claim is confirmed, it would be more evidence of a shift in the militant group’s tactics, toward attacks that inflict massive civilian casualties outside its territorial base in Iraq and Syria.”
