[Hnv1]

French intelligence F**ked up bad here, multiple point planned attack leaves lots of signatures.

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

@michaelh992: Police confirms six coordinated attacks in #Paris
This is mental...

[JerryArkansas]

Oh god don't let this have been a recent immigrant.  Mass unrest will come if so, even the possible collapse of several governments.

@michaelh992: #Breaking new attack reported in Les Halles #Paris

Another source

@tweetsintheME: Now Europe 1 is reporting a shooting in Les Halles, more central Paris, another very popular and crowded area. Hoping this is not true.

Jesus motherf**king Christ.

Eagles of Death Metal was the band playing at Bataclan Concert Hall. Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme is the drummer for the group.

@michaelh992: Gunfire reported near the Louvre #Paris

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

I have an hard time connecting to either BFM nor itélé...

I didn't see any news source tweet about 2 other attacks.

Following on France Inter, serious public radio, and so far they say nothing on more than the 4 first ones.

France Inter also says hostage taking is over in Bataclan.

Crazy, saw them earlier in the tour. sickening, my sister is living in Paris and they're letting people from the street find shelter

Another attack by buddhist Norwegians. Gee, I wonder if it has something to do with their religion.

[Crumpets]

I seriously doubt this was retribution for Jihadi John. This would have taken months to plan.

Don't start

The source seems to be Europe1 for Les Halles, well who knows, but if u want very fresh news during that kind of event the best uses to be BFM.

Definitely not. In general the involvement of foreign terrorist groups in attacks in Western Europe has recently been limited to contact on the internet, apart from the attacks in which the perpetrators were former foreign fighters. In principle, any committed radicalized gang with some experience in terms of weapons could have done this. I'm just amazed by the scale of it.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Christ. I know all of these areas do well, just heartbreaking.

Hollande has declared a state of emergency and has closed the French border.

Hollande has declared a state of emergency and has closed the French border.

What does that state of emergency in french legal framework means?

[MisSkeptic]

So how many attacks are happening at once? Last I read earlier was there were three separate attacks.

State of emergency gives authorities the power to:

• Regulate or forbid circulation and gathering in some areas (including by the use of curfew),
• Close places of gathering
• Conduct house-to-house searches at any time without judicial oversight
• Censorship

Also, Military is deployed.

I've heard upto six.

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

Hollande just spoke.

Yeah, emergency state all over the country, and yeah up to be define but hadn't happen since 2005 I'd say, nationwide riots in rough suburbs, on radio they say it hadn't happen since Algeria War, then maybe not the same kind.

He also says an other police operation is being led by police, maybe Les Halles.

And using French military on french soil?

Yeah, ISIS and their ilk doesn't need a reason.
