In the wake of the attacks, the Eiffel Tower has been temporarily shut down.

A day after the Paris Attacks, the world is reeling from the incident. As we try to make sense out of something so senseless, many have come forward with their own responses. We have chosen to focus Bwoglines this week solely on this topic.

Many notable figures have made comments about the causes behind the attacks, including Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who criticized the President of France, Francois Hollande, and denounced France’s current foreign policy. (ABC)
