We Share Your Pain, Kerry Tells The French

By Sky News US Team

US Secretary of State John Kerry has arrived in Paris to express America's solidarity with the French people after last week's terrorist attacks.

Mr Kerry's visit comes amid lingering criticism of the Obama administration's failure to send a high-level official to Paris for Sunday's unity march that attracted some 40 world leaders and more than a million demonstrators.

Mr Kerry was greeted by French President Francois Hollande.

"I think you know that you have the full and heartfelt condolences of the American people and I know you know that we share the pain and the horror of everything that you went through," said Mr Kerry, who speaks fluent French.

"Our hearts are with you," added Mr Kerry, who had said he was coming "to share a big hug with Paris" - and he and the French president hugged each other.

Mr Kerry had previously dismissed criticism over the rally, though the White House said in a rare admission that it should have sent a higher-level official.

Mr Hollande said the French people "were the victims of an exceptional terrorist attack. We must, therefore, together find the necessary response".

Last week's terrorist atrocities in France led to the deaths of 17 people, including 12 at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine. A policewoman was killed in Paris and four more people were shot dead in an attack on a kosher supermarket.
