ISIS struck with deadly force into the heart of Europe yesterday evening, leaving scores of dead and injured in its wake of fanatic obsession.
This morning, the French people woke up to the sound of a silent prayer for those who lost their lives in the atrocity. Mourning will officially go on for three days, though the legacy of sadness and sorrow will last far longer in the hearts of French people, and in the world at large.
Major landmarks worldwide have today been lit up with the tricolor of the French flag, and the hashtag #PrayForParis has been setup, to show that the world stands united with France in this day of infamy.
