Paris Attacker Blamed Hollande For Interfering In Syria: Witness

Paris: One of the assailants in Paris on Friday mentioned France's intervention in Syria's war to justify the attacks, said a witness who was at a concert venue where some 100 people were killed.

"I clearly heard them say 'It's the fault of (French President Francois) Hollande, it's the fault of your president, he should not have intervened in Syria'. They also spoke about Iraq," said Pierre Janaszak, a radio presenter.

A wave of coordinated attacks left more than 120 dead in scenes of carnage in Paris on Friday, including scores massacred by attackers shouting "Allahu akbar" during a rock concert and others in a suicide bombing near the national stadium.
