French jets bombed Islamic State targets for a second day, destroying a command center and a training site at the terror group’s stronghold in Raqqa, Syria.
The overnight strikes represent part of French President Francois Hollande’s response to attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people Friday. Speaking to lawmakers Monday, he called for a unified diplomatic front against Islamic State and sought expanded executive authority.
