The accounts also shared images of weapons and the Eiffel Tower.

The militants’ claims of responsibility for the attacks are being reviewed by the US intelligence, the channel reported.

On Friday night, eight extremists wearing explosive belts attacked several venues across Paris, killing 129 people and injuring over 350 at restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and in the vicinity of the Stade de France stadium. Responsibility for the attacks was claimed by the Islamic State militant group, operating in Syria and Iraq.
