French President Hollande vows to wage pitiless war against terrorism
Paris, Nov 14 (IBNS) As the series of deadly terror attacks across Paris that killed at least 140 people shook France, President Francois Hollande on Saturday vowed to wage "pitiless" war against terrorism, reports said.
"We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless," he said at the Bataclan Concert Hall, the site of one of the attacks.
"Because when terrorists are capable of committing such atrocities they must be certain that they are facing a determined France, a united France, a France that is together and does not let itself be moved, even if today we express infinite sorrow," the French President said.
Hollande has cancelled his visit to the G20 summit in Turkey following the wave of attacks in the city, his office said.
Media reports quoted an official as saying that President Francois Hollande and his US counterpart Barack Obama vowed to reinforce their counter-terrorism cooperation following Friday's attacks in Paris.
Eight terrorists were killed, including seven by their suicide belts.
While all of the attackers are believed to have died, authorities are searching for possible accomplices.
