  • Description: The death toll from Friday’s terrorist attack in Paris is at 132 and counting. ISIS claims it has fighters in 15 US states who are ready to conduct similar attacks. With the revelation that at least one terrorist crossed into Europe from Syria, several US states have announced they will not accept any Syrian refugees until the State Department can guarantee they will not be part of terrorist activity. Meanwhile, more than 40 people were killed in Lebanon on Thursday in another attack linked to ISIS, which also claimed responsibility for blowing up a Russian airliner earlier this month. If ISIS’s claims are true, it has executed three complex acts of mass murder in three different countries in less than two weeks. Today we’ll have full coverage of ISIS’s latest attacks, how the world is responding and what Catholics should do.
