Authorities placed Brussels, home to at least three of the jihadists behind the Paris attacks, under alert this weekend because of a “precise and imminent threat,” as the leaders of France and the U.K. hailed a United Nations vote for a global assault on Islamic State.
Many Parisians marked a week since the shootings and explosions of Nov. 13 by dancing defiantly or grieving quietly on Friday night outside the concert hall, cafes and restaurants targeted by the killers. With the manhunt continuing, investigators said two of the suicide bombers at the Stade de France in the suburb of Saint Denis had entered the European Union on a route used by migrants.
