I'm sorry I don't want this to be off topic but I really wanted to say this and I didn't really know where to do it except here : I'm watching the England-France game and I have only two words for England: Thank You ! I was crying before the players were even on the pitch but just seeing the sad face of Les Bleus before coming in was moving and then William and the two national coaches lay flowers ( David Cameron was on the pitch too) and then they played God Save The Queen and then everyone in the stadium sang La Marseillaise and it was so moving! Then, everyone in the stadium applauded for a minute before the minute of silence. Thank you so much England for everything you did tonight ! You can watch La Marseillaise here : https://twitter.com/tobia...status/666711483758354435And see photos here : http://www.dailymail.co.u...guarded-armed-police.htmlAlso, I wanted to thank everyone here for their support , I lost someone in these attacks ( not a relative but someone I knew a few years ago) and it was heartwarming to read your support here and read about your countries' support! Thank you very much   I am so sorry for your loss, but glad that you can find at least a margin of solace among peers . I watched the match, and it was truly, very moving. There was a last-minute dash to commit to memory the words of La Marseillaise, but it was such a heart-warming moment. It touches a great many of us. |

DM put up a ton of photos. One photo I don't see is William interacting with anyone. If this were Harry, I think him would shake hands with the French team and express his condolences. William didn't do anything besides laying the wreath, which is silly in the middle of a soccer field.

The beautiful and amazing Marseillaise sung by everyone in Wembley stadium before the England v France game was the last in a long series of gestures of support, so...  THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR SUPPORT   Earlier this morning, police and special forces raided a flat in Saint-Denis, near Paris. Two people killed themselves with explosives belts during it and three other have been arrested! It's hopefully the last episode of these events... |

Too bad quite a few the Turkish fans at the Turkey/Greece couldn't follow suit and hood during the moment of silence while shouting out Allah Akbar. They should be glad Allah isn't a person currently on this Earth because he would have one hell of a charachter defamation,slander, and libel case against anyone using his name to spread their hatered. Love this man though. http://www.dailymail.co.u...pose-Sharia-law-West.html |

These are written in French; does this mean that Abaaoud is, in fact, dead? I am at work and without access to Google and my usual BBC. |

Yes, Morocco helped identifying and localisation of the terrorists. And Abdelhamid Abaaoud has been formally identified as one of the men killed yesterday during the special forces' operation in Saint-Denis.

And Abdelhamid Abaaoud has been formally identified as one of the men killed yesterday during the special forces' operation in Saint-Denis. according to Reuters right away after the attacks Morocco send four of its officers to the French capital to meet police there and help in investigations ,some reports said it's Morocco who advice Belgium and France to focus on Molenbeek,in the last couple of months Morocco services discomfits terrorist attacks against the Kingdom and arrested some suspects that i think they are presious source of informations,i hope other arab and muslim contries join the investigations and share what they have,now more than ever it's very necessary. |

Elissa, I love your sweet avatar of Diesel.  Her loss is one more poignant "face" in the absolute tragedy of this monstrous, undeserved assault on Paris. |

I finally got time and some head to read it all and post. My sister lives in Paris and on Friday night I probably lived the most horrible hours of my life. We couldn't talk with her for hours and the feeling was just crushing. I think I died a little bit every minute of it. Thankfully she's ok, but other families can't say the same  And let's not forget the ones that died in Beirute. My thoughts were with their families too. I wonder if I will ever see a day when people actually respect each other, their freedom, their differences... Peace seems such an utopia  I'm so sorry that you had to go through this worrying about a family member. Happy to know that she is safe. The Facebook "safe" button allowed a family friend (who lives near the Paris Disneyland) and her adult children to let us know that they were safe. |
