World leaders responded with shock and pledges of solidarity for France following the killing of scores of people in attacks in Paris on Friday night, though there was little action any could immediately take.
The United Nations Security Council issued a statement condemning "barbaric and cowardly terrorist attacks" involving assailants using guns and bombs on several venues, including the national sports stadium and a major music venue.
Investigations are moving fast into the series of terror attacks which killed 129 people in Paris on Friday. The carnage has shocked the world, pushing terror ahead of the economic agenda at the G20 meet in Turkey.
