Updated | Even though Friday's attacks in Paris made it seem like the entire globe was at a standstill, the world continues to spin on its axis. As far-flung communities attempt to make sense of a senseless tragedy, the manhunt for suspects in the attacks that killed at least 132 people and wounded hundreds more is ongoing, stretching into Belgium and beyond.
Many of the victims, young people, had just wrapped the work week and kicked off their weekends in the City of Lights at a concert, a cafe, a soccer match. On Saturday, the first identities of those who perished in the attacks began to surface. They were French and Tunisian, Romanian and Spanish, of the law and of creative industries. It's evident that the attacks were non-discriminatory, given that these were people of all colors and creeds, upbringings and ambitions.
People from at least a dozen nations have been reported dead, and the majority have yet to be identified amidst the carnage. The militant group ISIS has since taken responsibility for the attacks.
