French fighter jets bombed a series of ISIS sites in Raqqa, Syria, on Sunday in what officials described as a major bombardment. The airstrikes targeted a command center, recruitment center, ammunition storage base and a training camp.

The bombings came two days after terrorist attacks that killed at least 129 people in Paris. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which France's President described as "an act of war."

Here's the latest on the Paris attacks:

THE INVESTIGATION: An international warrant has been issued for Salah Abdeslam, a Belgium-born French national who is one of three brothers suspected in the Paris terror attacks. Salah Abdeslam was questioned by French police a few hours after the attacks, but was let go, a source close to the investigation said. One of his brothers was killed in the attacks and another has been arrested by Belgian police, according to Jean-Pascal Thoreau, a spokesman for Belgium's federal prosecutor.

Two of the dead attackers have been identified. One of them is Ismael Omar Mostefai, 29, according to Jean-Pierre Gorges, the mayor of the French town of Chartres. The other, according to several sources, is Bilal Hafdi, 19 or 20. Mostefai lived in Chartres at least until 2012, said Gorges via Facebook.

Six people, all relatives of Mostefai, have been detained, the Paris prosecutor's office said Sunday. It is common practice in criminal cases in France to place family members in custody. Mostefai's relatives have been neither charged nor arrested.

THE ISIS THREAT: The United States and its allies have agreed to share some of their most sensitive intelligence on ISIS in Syria with France in the wake of the attacks in Paris, a U.S. official told CNN.

Prior to Friday's attacks, Iraq shared intelligence that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had ordered an attack on countries fighting against ISIS, though there were no specifics about when or where the attack would take place, a senior Iraqi official has said.
