France: ISIS Claims Responsibility for Killing 2 Outside Paris
--------------------------------------------------------------

In France, ISIS has claimed responsibility for the fatal stabbing of a
French police commander outside Paris. The attacker, identified as
Larossi Abballa, then held the commander's partner and the couple's
three-year-old son hostage, eventually killing the partner, who worked
as an administrative police official. Police stormed the house and
killed the attacker. French President François Hollande called the
killing "incontestably a terrorist act."
