France was trying to make sense of the the chaos and violence that marred Paris Friday. Terrorists likely associated with the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, targeted civilians at several locations in the city, including its Stade de France, the Le Bataclan concert hall and several restaurants and bars.
On Saturday, French President François Hollande declared three days of mourning. He called the attacks "absolute barbarity" and an "act of war."
