Welcome to the weekend. This week, Paris endured another highly coordinated terror attack leaving 132 dead, 300+ injured and a city traumatized. The UK increased border security, but maintained its threat level, which already suggests a terrorist attack is “highly likely.” While the US federal government reaffirmed its commitment to taking in Syrian refugees, mostly Republican governors signed executive orders to block Syrian refugees from their states. German chancellor Angela Merkel reiterated her “open-door” stance. Meanwhile, a suspected Boko Haram attack killed 32 in Nigeria. Eighty people were injured after a bomb detonated at a market in the northeastern city of Yola; no group has taken responsibility yet.
