ByLoriHinnant The Associated Press PARIS A subdued France paid homage Friday to those killed two weeks ago in the attacks that gripped Paris in fear and mourn- ing, honoring each of the 130 dead by name as the president pledged to "de- stroy the army of fanatics" who claimed so many young lives. With each name and age read aloud inside the Invalides national monu- ment, the toll gained new force. Most, as French Pres- ident Francois Hollande noted, were younger than 35, killed while enjoying a mild Friday night of music, food, drinks or sports. The youngest was 17. The old- est, 68. Meanwhile, in Belgium, authorities charged a man with "terrorist attacks" as investigators worked to hone in on culprits. The federal prosecutor's office said the man was arrested a day earlier in Brussels and was "charged with terrorist attacks and taking part in the activities of a terrorist group." He was not identi- fied and it was not imme- diately clear if he was one of two fugitives authorities have been seeking. France's somber homage to the victims bespoke the horrors of Nov. 13. Throughout Paris, French flags fluttered in windows and on buses in uncharacteristic displays of patriotism in response to Paris' second deadly ter- ror attack this year. But the mood was grim, and the locked-down ceremony at the Invalides national monument lacked the de- fiance of January, when a million people poured through the streets to honor those killed by Is- lamic extremist gunmen. Hollande, who in Janu- ary locked arms with world leaders in a show of global unity against terrorism, sat alone in a hard-backed chair in the cavernous In- valides courtyard, the as- sembled mourners behind him as victims' names were recited. France's mil- itary provided the only im- ages of Friday's ceremony, and no one without an invi- tation was permitted inside. The night of Nov. 13, three teams of suicide bombers and gunmen struck across Paris, begin- ning at the national sta- dium — where Hollande was among the spectators — and ending in the storm- ing of the Bataclan concert venue. In all, 130 people died and hundreds were in- jured. The crowd at the sta- dium shakily sang France's national anthem as they filed outside that night; a military band played the Marseillaise again on Fri- day, lingering slightly on the refrain: "Aux armes, ci- toyens!" The courtyard went si- lent after the reading of the names finished, broken finally by a mournful cello. Hollande stared straight ahead, before finally rising to speak. "To all of you, I solemnly promise that France will do everything to destroy the army of fanatics who com- mitted these crimes," Hol- lande said. The speech was dedi- cated above all to the dead and France's young. "The ordeal has scarred us all, but it will make us stronger. I have confi- dence in the generation to come. Generations before have also had their iden- tity forged in the flower of youth. The attack of Nov. 13 will remain in the memory of today's youth as a terrible initiation in the hardness of the world. But also as an in- vitation to combat it by cre- ating a new commitment," he said. Hollande noted that many of the dead, especially those at the Eagles of Death Metal show at the Bataclan, had careers in music — a music he said the attackers found intolerable. "It was this harmony that they wanted to break, shat- ter. It was this joy that they wanted to bury with the blast of their bombs. Well, they will not stop it. We will multiply the songs, the concerts, the shows. We will keep going to the stadiums, and especially our beloved national stadium in Saint- Denis. We will participate in sports gatherings great and small," Hollande said. 130 DEAD France honors attack victims in city subdued by mourning FRANCOISMORI—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Wounded people in the Nov. 13Paris attacks wait for the start of a ceremony in the courtyard of the Invalides in Paris on Friday. By Zeina Karam The Associated Press BEIRUT A new wave of air- strikes targeting the Syr- ian city of Raqqa, the head- quarters of the extremist Is- lamic State group and the focus of an international military campaign, killed at least eight people, including five children, Syrian opposi- tion groups said Friday. The strikes came as France's foreign minis- ter, Laurent Fabius, de- clared that destroying the IS headquarters and "neu- tralizing and eradicating" the extremist group is the main objective of the inter- national campaign. It wasn't immediately clear who carried out the latest airstrikes. The city in northern Syria is the group's de facto capital and has become the focus of in- ternational airstrikes in the wake of the Paris terror at- tacks and the bombing of a Russian jetliner over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. IS has said it was behind both attacks. Those developments have turned the world's attention to the fight against IS at a time when the international community is trying to en- gage Syrians in a diplomatic process that would lead to a political transition in the war-ravaged country. That process faces enor- mous hurdles, includ- ing the fate of President Bashar Assad and agreeing on which armed factions in Syria should be allowed to take part in negotiations. Speaking in Moscow at a joint news conference with the Syrian foreign minis- ter Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday that peace talks for Syria cannot go ahead un- til all parties involved agree on a list of which groups should be listed as terror- ist and which as legitimate opposition. "Vienna talks cannot go ahead productively without such a list of terrorists and a list of opposition groups," Lavrov said, adding that the lists should be vetted by the U.N. Security Council. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem scoffed at those who call on Assad to step down, comparing them to "those who dream of the devil in heaven." "All those who demanded the resignation of Assad have left and Assad re- mained," he said, adding that elections will decide who stays and who goes. Al-Moallem also seized on comments made by Fa- bius Friday in which he sug- gested France could work with Syrian government forces to fight the Islamic State group. "Better late than never," al-Moallem said. "The Syr- ian army is ready to collab- orate with anyone who has the intention to fight ter- rorism in Syria," he said, adding that first France would have to change its whole take on the Syrian crisis. Fabius later clarified his comments, saying such co- operation must be part of a political transition in which Assad would step down. A Raqqa-based activist group that reports on IS, known as Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, said Friday that most of the ca- sualties in the latest aer- ial bombardment occurred when warplanes targeted the city's Heten School. The school, like others in Raqqa, has been taken over by IS. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 12, including the five children. Conflict- ing casualty figures are common in the chaos of Syria's civil war, now in its fifth year. Russia and a U.S.-led co- alition that includes France have been pounding Raqqa.
