介绍:
US Secretary of State John Kerry has described Islamic State (IS) militants as "psychopathic monsters" following Friday's deadly attacks in Paris. Mr Kerry, in Paris for talks with President Hollande, said the US stood "shoulder to shoulder" with France. Mr Hollande says France is committed to destroying IS. French air strikes hit the militants in Syria overnight. IS has said it carried out the attacks on bars, restaurants, a concert hall and a stadium in which 129 people died. A huge manhunt is still under way for a suspected member of the group, Salah Abdeslam, who was believed to have fled across the border to his native Belgium. Belgian police have released more pictures of the suspect. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told France Info TV that 128 raids on suspected Islamist militants had been carried out overnight on Monday to Tuesday. More than 160 raids were made earlier on Monday, with 23 people arrested and dozens of weapons seized. Belgium's government has raised its terror threat level because of the failure so far to arrest Abdeslam, causing Tuesday's football match between the national team and Spain to be cancelled.
