Paris terror attacks, two years on: what we know
Paris (AFP) - Two years after the terror attacks on Paris nightspots that left 130 people dead, seven people are in custody in France while key figures remain at large and may be dead.
Among the 10 jihadists who wreaked havoc on the French capital on November 13, 2015, the only survivor is Salah Abdeslam, who is refusing to talk to investigators.

Especially now that ISIS is recommending truck attacks-- they're almost impossible to prevent.
