ETA - realized I totally skipped over why I brought up ISIS taking credit: the anchor was talking about ISIS saying that there was still another attacker on the loose, and how the French authorities seemed to not know what to do, because they've said all attackers are dead, and that they're searching for an 8th attacker.

Add to that there's been, last I heard, seven arrests in Belgium connected to the attack and a rental car from Belgium found in Paris with AKs, and confusion seems to reign.
Iraqi intelligence sent a dispatch saying the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had ordered an attack on coalition countries fighting against them in Iraq and Syria, as well as on Iran and Russia, through bombings or other attacks in the days ahead.
The dispatch said the Iraqis had no specific details on when or where the attack would take place, and a senior French security official told the AP that French intelligence gets this kind of communication "all the time" and "every day."
Without commenting specifically on the Iraqi warning, a senior U.S. intelligence official said he was not aware of any threat information sent to Western governments that was specific enough to have thwarted the Paris attacks.
