Unfortunately there will have been casualties, and likely fatalities. :nope: |
The explosions are reported to have been grenades and at least two shootings have been reported. The grenades were detonated near the Stade de France where the France vs Germany match is taking place, as such no-one is now allowed to enter or leave the stadium. Hollande has been evacuated from the stadium. Reports of the French army being deployed.
EDIT: Gentleman talking to the BBC indicates that people told him that the attack at the restaurant was a drive-by. Reports of a possible hostage situation at 'Le Bataclan' concert hall. |

German media speaks of at least 18 fatalities, several shootings, explosions and a hostage situation in the Paris concert hall.:nope:

EDIT: The Californian band 'Eagles of Death Metal' were playing at the concert venue and were an hour into their gig when the hostage situation began. |
Way to early to point the finger at anyone until more information comes out, never the less another terrible event.

It's bad that the old thread is gone, ´cause in one of my post I wrote about ISIS and coordinated operations. I recall some replied my post and said that they couldn't do that.
Hearing on Danish News channel right now This is a coordinated terror attack in a scale never seen before I guess its time to see ISIS not as some toy terror group but a terror group with a skill almost equal a normal country (I'm so sure its ISIS or some of its supporting groups who's behind this) Markus |

I dont think you need to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that it was not a bunch of 'all purpose' terrorists which have attacked France. In fact I'll go right ahead and say that it is Islamic terrorists. |
There is a report that one of the hostage takers said something about Syria, so draw your own conclusions from that, obviously though it's too early to be certain and no-one has claimed responsibility, but it's probably a local cell so Daesh central in Syria would have no idea about any such planned attack.
Meanwhile there have been more reports of shootings, this time at the Louvre and somewhere else. It's also indicated that the hostage takers have explosives. A Europe 1 journalist in the concert hall said: Quote:
President Hollande has just declared a State of Emergency across France and closed the French borders, French residents are being urged to stay indoors and people are being cleared off the streets by police and soldiers. Quote:

^ I guess you're right Oberon its to early to point finger.
Its just the way the terror attack have been done I got the "feeling" its ISIS who's behind this. In all I think we should wait for more information as they come. Edit. Is it only Paris who is the target or can we expect more like that in the nearest future in other European Capitals ? Markus |

To be honest I'm surprised nothing like this has happened in London or Berlin yet, I suspect that sadly it's only a matter of time. :nope: |
~60 killed by now... they start to execute the hostages.
I don't even know what to say, I am raging inside and there is nothing anyone can do about this. We are all doomed to watch this going down and that is exactly what these zealots want. |

Make no mistake though, this will encourage European nations to ramp up the attacks on Syria, Russia be damned. |
My heart goes out to the people of France, such a sad thing to see. We in the west stand with you at a time like this.

^ "It'll be done in the name of Daesh, but it'll be a local cell that will be responsible"
This is nothing but pure speculation What if this terror cell got its order form the headquarters in northern Syria, what if these terrorist was some of these refugees who came to France some year ago and they got the orders before they left ? I know its many what if. Markus |
True, it is speculation and I'll refrain from undertaking more.
Reports have indicated that there has been at least one suicide bombing undertaken in the attacks, which surprises me. There must be quite a number of attackers involved in this, it's certainly not on the level of Hebdo, it's much much bigger. EDIT: The concert hall has been stormed by French forces. |
