Gunmen have opened fire in several places in the French capital, Paris, causing several casualties, French media report.

At least one man opened fire with an automatic gun at the Cambodge restaurant in the 11th district.

Liberation newspaper reports four deaths. It also reports shootings near the Bataclan arts centre.

An explosion is also reported to have targeted a bar near Stade de France, where France were hosting Germany.

Reports say President Francois Hollande was watching the match and has been evacuated.

A BBC journalist at the Cambodge restaurant says he can see 10 people on the road either dead or seriously injured.

Maybe it was the American religious right behind this.
they are considered the greater danger by many here.
 
Maybe the other countries will now join Putin, in getting rid of these terrorists that’s assuming they’re ISIL, but no doubt associates of some form.

Statistically, they are a greater danger here. That is not the case in other places though.

That’s gone up 😦

Fox is reporting 26 killed and 60 held hostage currently at the Bataclan concert hall. Absolutely terrible. Thoughts and Prayers with the Parisians tonight particularly with the families of the slain and with those still in harms way.

It’s up to 35 dead now. 100 hostages. Who is taking credit for this tragedy?
 
If it is radical Muslims who did this, I hope a major Islamic leader speaks against this, that’s if it is Isis

Now over 100 held hostage at the concert hall. No claims of responsibility yet, but I’d lay dollars to donuts it’ll be ISIL who claims responsibility in the end. They’ve seemingly unified far too many terrorism groups under their despicable banner.

Yeah but of course no one will. At least no one important.

May they all RIP.

Also this now following the January shootings, at Charlie Hebdo, must be extremely worrying for the Parisians and all of France.
 
One commentator reflects that places where ordinary and youung were targeted. Not the usual tourist spots. He expects many of the deceased will be young people, just out for a little fun on a Friday night.
