VIENNA, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- A meeting between 20 countries to discuss the crisis in Syria went forward Saturday under the pall of the deadly attacks on Paris that left nearly 130 dead.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius were among the many to meet at a Vienna hotel to discuss a path to a resolution to the years-long civil war in Syria. Fabius said "it is more necessary than ever in the current circumstance to coordinate the international fight against terrorism." Early Saturday, French President Francois Hollande blamed the Islamic State militant group for the attack and vowed retaliation.
