Paris Attacks

[/]

Final Victim Tally - 129

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

This seems to be more akin to the London or Mumbai attacks, in that the targets were random civilians. There's no real cause to debate besides "Terrorists are evil", which only crazies disagree with.

If it's ISIS, though, this combined with the plane bombing was likely a Pearl Harbor-level misjudgment on their part. The last thing they want is for the world to no longer be able to ignore them.

[Comrade Funk]

Multiple attacks reported. Yeah...

[Clyde1998]

Multiple attacks reported including an explosion near the Stade de France where France were playing Germany in an international football (soccer) match. Additionally, concert goers are being held hostage at another location.

[Clyde1998]

Sky News: "at least 26 dead".

[ingemann]

There's little to say by this point other than we can only hope it's over, and let's wait until we have more clear details to discuss who have done it.

So RIP to the victims and my thoughts goes out to their families.

The explosions could be heard at the Stade de France: https://vine.co/v/iBb2x00UVlv

The French President was at the ground during the explosions.

God sickening absolutely sickening.

[Crumpets]

If this is ISIS-related, is it retaliation for something? Has France done anything recently that this could be a response to, or is it just terrorists being terrorists?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Stade de France
Rue de Charonne
Hostages taken in Bataclan, famous Parisian show place.

For what I've heard.

Putain.

2015 already shows worse than 1995.

France is one of the, if not the, most Islamophobic countries in Europe - that might have something to do with it.

[Crumpets]

CNN reporting a shootout is underway between police and the attackers at the concert hall where the hostages are being held.

For sure.

[Crumpets]

It's probably worth noting as well that the concert hall is not far at all from where the Charlie Hebdo shootings took place.

@RT_com: DETAILS: Around 100 hostages at #Paris #Bataclan theater; 35 killed in shootouts, blasts

[Clyde1998]

@itvnews: #Paris attacks is retaliation for targeted strike on IS militant 'Jihadi John', anti-terror source tells ITV News.
Not 100% sure how they would be able to organise it in a day, so we should wait before French Police confirm something.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Well, about Islamophobia, it's what creates the kind oh guys that can do it and rather not 'we're doing that cause you don't like Islam'.

And well, if you want concrete elements, France is the most active Western country to strike Islamists around the world after US: Syria, Iraq, Sahara/Sahel.

The Charles de Gaulle has been launched toward Syria recently, for the last concrete thing.

F**k, seems so f**king messy, listening to a witnessing on France Inter, in Batacllan the guys effectively shouted 'Allah akbar'.

100 of shootings sounds heard Rue de Charonne.

Yeah in recent months there has been growing animosity between the Muslim and non-Muslim communities post Charlie Hebdo now watch it get worse.

Yeah. Marine Le Pen is probably popping a bottle of champagne right now.

[Crumpets]

Canal+ and French Football Federation reporting that the Stade de France is secure and people will be allowed to leave. It looks like they've been keeping the spectators on the field.

CNN reporting the death toll is up to 60.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

1 blast in a fast food close to Stade de France
1 other blast in a brasserie there too
1 big shooting in Bataclan
1 big shooting in a restaurannt rue de Charonne

BFM announces 60 dead people.
