Update
-France struck back in Raqqa, Syria today. The air raid included 10 fighter jets and was launched simultaneously from the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. Twenty bombs were dropped.
-The operation, carried out in coordination with U.S. forces, struck a command center, recruitment center for jihadists, a munitions depot and a training camp for fighters.
-Back in France...police are still hunting for three gunmen on the run, including Brussels-born Frenchman Salah Abdeslam, and an ISIS bombmaker likely to have made the suicide vests.

-An international arrest warrant has been issued for ^ Abdeslam, 26, who is accused of renting a Volkswagen Polo used by the suicide bombers. His brother Ibrahim, 31, blew himself up in a solo attack and his other brother, named as Mohamed Abdeslam, has been arrested in the Belgian capital.
This is effin' frustrating: tonight it was revealed that officers had pulled over Abdelslam and two other men on Saturday morning on the motorway between Paris and Brussels. At the time, officers in Paris knew that Abdeslam had rented the car used by the killers which had been abandoned near the theater but the information had not been transmitted to those responsible for conducting the border checks.
