A last national day of mourning brought a close to a week of tribute observed by thousands of people in commemoration of those who were killed in terror attacks of January and November that stroke Paris twice last year. Though poorly followed due to extremely high level of security, several thousands paid a stirring tribute to the victims. This last official ceremony took place exactly a year after the massive historical march of January 11th which gathered about one million of people everywhere in France.
Famous singers were invited including France most popular rock singer Johnny Hallyday. But the invitation of the latter raised a bit of a controversy as the singer was frequently mocked by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Paris last year terrorist assaults left 147 people dead and hundreds injured. January series of coordinated assaults was marked by the attack on Charlie Hebdo newspaper office premises and on kosher supermarket where 17 people were killed. The next attack was held on November 13th and targeted random spots of the French capital such as bar terraces and fast food restaurants but the deadliest attack hit Le Bataclan, a renowned concert hall where 89 people were shot. The terrorists took hostages before engaging in police forces with a stand-off.
Meanwhile, Paris attacks ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud still is on the run whereas its fellow assailants have been either shot dead by the French police or blew themselves up. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attacks.
