French warplanes bombed Islamic State’s nerve center in Raqqa after the country’s government said Europe’s worst terror attack in a decade was directed from Syria and launched from Belgium.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told France 2 television that the extremist group, which has also claimed responsibility for the blasts in Beirut and the downing of a Russian passenger jet in Egypt, is urging people based in Belgium “to act on French territory and in other European cities.”
Ten French fighter jets struck targets Sunday evening in Syria, hitting a command base, according to the Defense Ministry. France is currently the only European power conducting major combat operations over both Iraq and Syria. Islamic State said the Paris attacks were payback for France’s military involvement in the Middle East.
With Parisians on edge less than a year after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Europe is on high alert after at least 129 people were killed in more than half a dozen locations in the French capital. A manhunt is intensifying for Abdeslam Salah, a 26-year-old suspect born in Brussels, as French investigators are in the Belgian city chasing down leads.
Two rental cars registered in Belgium were used in the attacks, prosecutors said, and seven people have been detained in the country on suspicion of being involved. A road patrol may have stopped and checked a car containing Salah and let him go, prosecutors said late Sunday.
