ISIS has taken credit for multiple attacks on Paris and in Egypt. Attacks in Paris were located in at least six sites across Paris, including the national stadium, a crowded concert hall, several restaurants and  at a soccer match between France and Germany. 129 people were killed in various locations, 23 people arrested. Eight extremists are now dead, and seven of them died in the attack. Most of the extremist died because they used  bombs strapped to them, along with AK-47s. The worst attack occurred at Bataclan which left 80 people dead, at a concert venue, and Police rescued at least 100 people from Bataclan. President Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency in his address to the nation and France then dropped 20 bombs across ISIS ruled territory. Three Chileans also were killed, as were two people from Belgium, two from Mexico, two from Spain, one from Portugal, one from the United Kingdom and many French citizens. Their main goal was to kill as many people from around the world as possible. ISIS claims that these attacks are revenge for France joining U.S. led airstrikes that occurred in Syria and Iraq. Four of the attackers have been named: Salah Abdeslam, Ibrahim Abdeslam, Omar Ismaïl Mostefai, and Bilal Hadfi. The suspected ringleader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was killed in a major police operation in a suburb of the city. However, Belgium is on high alert because another suspect is thought to be hiding there. The Belgian authorities are conducting fresh raids around Brussels. Meanwhile, ISIS is still continuing to instill fear around the world and threatens to attack New York specifically.They also admit to killing hostages from China and Norway.

ISIS also admits to being responsible for the Russian jet that crashed in Egypt due to an improvised bomb, packed up to 1.5 kg of TNT. The Russian Government responded by saying they will increase airstrikes in Syria. Several extremist groups called for attacks against Russia after Moscow began their campaign of airstrikes in September. Fortunately, Egyptian authorities have reportedly detained two employees at Sharm el-Sheikh airport, in connection with the crash however Egypt refuses to believe that this was an act of terrorism. As the terrorism continues around the world people begin to feel unsafe, “This is absolutely horrible due to the total disregard for human life and extreme brutality. It’s scary to think public places are no longer safe, no matter where you are and we can’t expect to come home each night. It shows everyone, anywhere in the world is a target and ISIS must be stopped,” says Maddie Acampora, a junior.
