ISIS has officially claimed responsibility for a devastating series of attacks in Paris on Friday night, which claimed the lives of at least 127 people.
Concurrently French President Francois Hollande gave a speech on Saturday in which he said that the Islamic State group orchestrated the worst attacks in France since World War II and vowed to strike back.
Hollande, who declared three days of national mourning, added that, "We will protect our citizens in this current state of emergency.
According to the ISIS message, the attacks included eight suicide bombers who donned explosive vests, and used automatic rifles in their attacks against carefully selected targets in the French capital.
