French President Responds To Paris Terrorist Attacks

French President Francois Holland is saying that last night's terrorist attacks in Paris that killed at least 127 people was the work of ISIS.

Hollande says those responsible are "barbarians", and he vows revenge against them.

France, along with the USA, are bombing ISIS targets in Syria and Iraq, but are concerned about possible reprisal attacks.

French authorities say eight terrorists with guns and bombs launched six attacks in the French capital. Seven of the eight died when they detonated bombs, and the other was killed by security agents.

Investigation Into Manitoba Men Switched At Birth


Norman Barkman and Luke Monias, from the Norway House Cree Nation, say they were shocked when DNA tests revealed they were switched at birth.

Barkman and Monias were born in 1975 in a federally-regulated hospital in Norway House.

Family members are trying to come to grips with the fact that the person they thought they were related to is not technically related.
