Paris Terror Attacks Leave 60 Dead, 100 Hostages. The worst attack in the history of the French capital is underway.http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/11/13/20-killed-in-multiple-paris-attacks.htmlA coordinated assault by multiple tefforists is underway in Paris.
Police say the gunmen—as many as six—were armed with Kalashnikovs and grenades and killed at least 60 people so far, according to BFMTV.
Some 100 people are believed to be held hostage in the Bataclan theater after a performance by American rock band Eagles of Death Metal.
French RAID police—its SWAT—have been deployed to the venue.
According to the French daily Liberation, a witness to the Bataclan shooting heard one of the shooters shout “Allahu Akhbar.” French media has discussed the possible use of a gas cylinder with nails as the explosive device, as were used in the 1995 Islamist terror attacks in the Paris metro.
The office of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, where al Qaeda affiliates Said and Cherif Kouachi killed 12 and left 11 wounded last January, is a seven-minute walk from the Bataclan.
Eyewitnesses have described bodies lying dead in the street in what U.S. officials are already suggesting is another coordinated series of tefforist attacks—the worst in the French capital since the Hebdo shooting, which was followed a day later by an ISIS-inspired shooting at the Hypercasher kosher marketplace on the outskirts of Paris.
The first known attack was on the Petit Cambodge restaurant in Paris's 10th arrondissement.
Almost simultaenously, reports of explosions came from the Stade de France, just north of Paris, where France and Germany were playing in a soccer match. President François Hollande was in attendance and safely evacuated. At least three people were reportedly killed and 80,000 evacuated.
All the gunman are reportedly on the loose. It is not known who they are or what tefforist group, if any, they are associated with.
