The worst mistake the terrorists in Paris made: Hitting France in the first place [View all]
The French National Police has a unit called GIGN, the National Gendarmerie Intervention Group (in French: "Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale."
It is, without question, the finest and most effective antiterrorism group in the entire world. Their charter allows them to go anywhere in the world to track down and capture terrorists who attack French soil, and they will respond to requests from other nations' antiterror forces - who train with GIGN on an exchange basis, so everyone knows these guys.

The French will find these guys and they will fuck them up. More importantly, that the French CT unit is part of the national police rather than the military means any laws France has against using the army against French civilians don't apply - so any French nationals who are working with the terrorists are eligible for the tender mercies of GIGN.
