French police detain 7 for questioning in Paris siege

French police took seven people in for questioning Sunday in connection with the deadly siege that killed at least 129 people on Friday night, expanding an international dragnet and investigation that is now spanning from the Aegean Sea to the teeming Paris suburbs.br The seven people taken into custody were relatives of Omar Ismail Mostefai, a 29-year old French national with a criminal record and one of seven assailants who died during Friday night's deadly siege, according to a French police official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.br 'The aim is to figure out what led this man to become a suicide bomber," the French police official said.br On Saturday, President François Hollande called the attacks an "act of war" by the Islamic State, which issued an extraordinarily detailed claim of responsibility almost immediately after his address to the nation.
