Motive

On the evening of 13 November 2015, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks—consisting of mass shootingssuicide bombings, and hostage-taking—occurred in Paris and in the northernsuburb of Saint-Denis. Beginning at 21:20 CET, there were three separate suicide bombings outside the Stade de France and, nearer central Paris, there were mass shootings and a suicide bombing at four different locations.[12]The deadliest of those attacks took place at the Bataclan theatre, where attackers took hostages and engaged in a stand-off with police which ended at 00:58 on 14 November. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attacks.[13][14][15]

According to news reports, 129 victims were killed,[2][16] 89 of them at the Bataclan theatre.[4][17][18][19] A further 415 were admitted to hospital with injuries sustained in the attacks, including 80 people described as being seriously injured.[20] In addition to the victims, seven attackers died, and the authorities continued to search for any accomplices remaining at large.[3] The attacks were the deadliest in France since World War II,[21][22] and the deadliest in Europe since the Madrid train bombings in 2004.[23]

In response, French President François Hollande announced a state of emergency, the first since the 2005 riots,[23] and placed temporary controlson the country's borders.[17] He also placed Paris under the first curfew since 1944, during World War II.[24] People and organizations expressed solidarityincluding through social media. President Hollande declared the attacks as "an act of war".[25][26][27] On 15 November, France launched its largest single airstrike of Opération Chammal, its contribution to the anti-ISIL bombing campaign, by striking targets in Al-RaqqahSyria in retaliation for the attacks.[28]

Prior to the attack, France had been bombing various targets in the Middle East, including in Syria, since October 2015.[29] ISIL's motive was retaliation forFrench involvement in the Syrian Civil War and Iraqi Civil War.[10][30] In the weeks leading up to the attacks, ISIL had claimed responsibility for several attacks, such as twin suicide bombings in Beirut two days earlier, and thecrashing of Metrojet Flight 9268 on 31 October. France had been on high alertsince the January 2015 attacks in Paristhat killed 17 people, including civilians and police officers.[7]
