There are not words to describe the tragedy that happened in Paris last night. 

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Paris.

The near-simultaneous attacks in Paris that killed at least 128 people were an "act of war" organised by the Islamic State (IS) militant group, French President Francois Hollande says.

 

He said the attacks, carried out by eight gunmen and suicide bombers, were "organised and planned from outside".

 

The targets included bars, restaurants, a concert and a high-profile football match. IS claimed the attacks.

 

Several arrests have been made in Belgium, the justice minister says.

My heart bleeds for the people of Paris.    My prayers are with these people.    May governments wake up.    

 

It is touching that many hosts have paid tribute to Paris on air and on Facebook.   Only the self absorbed did not (too much into selfies, I guess).

Amen. I still can't wrap my head around this. I saw the tweets coming in last night and was like this can't be happening. Can't be. *sigh*
