Enormous crowd gathers for French anti-terror rally: 'Today, Paris is the capital of the world'
Hundreds of thousands of people and dozens of world leaders amassed in Paris on Sunday for a unity march in response to a series of recent terror attacks.
Organizers expected up to one million people to attend the anti-terror event, including British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The rally comes after three self-proclaimed radical Muslims last week staged separate attacks on a Jewish supermarket and the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
