As it happened: At least 120 people killed in multiple terrorist attacks across Paris, officials say

ABC  

David Cameron: I've just chaired a meeting of COBRA to review the security situation here in the United Kingdom. Ever since the coordinated firearms attack in Mumbai in 2008, we have all been working together to ensure we can respond to such an attack. This summer police and other emergency services carried out a major exercise to test our response for multiple firearms attack and in the light of last night's attacks we will of course review our plans and make sure we learn any appropriate lessons. Last night's attacks suggest a new degree of planning and coordination and a greater ambition for mass casualty attacks. So more than ever we must come together and stand united and carry on with the way of life that we love and that we know.
