PARIS (AP) -- At least 35 people were killed Friday in
shootings and explosions around Paris, many of them in a
popular concert hall where patrons were taken hostage,
police and medical officials said.

A police official said 11 people were killed in a Paris
restaurant in the 10th arrondissement, and others said at
least twice that number died elsewhere, primarily in the
Bataclan concert hall, where the hostages were taken. It
was unclear how many people were in the hall; one official
said there were around 100 while another said there were
far fewer.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to be publicly named in the quickly
moving investigation.

Also late Friday, two explosions were heard outside the
Stade de France stadium north of Paris during a France-
Germany friendly football match.

A police official confirmed one explosion in a bar near the
stadium. It was not known if there were casualties.

An Associated Press reporter in the stadium Friday night
heard two explosions loud enough to penetrate the sounds
of cheering fans. Sirens were immediately heard, and a
helicopter was circling overhead.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to be publicly named.

The attack comes as France has heightened security
measures ahead of a major global climate conference that
starts in two weeks, out of fear of violent protests and
potential terrorist attacks.

Emilioi Macchio, from Ravenna, Italy, was at the Carillon bar
near the restaurant that was targeted, having a beer on the
sidewalk, when the shooting started. He said he didn't see
any gunmen or victims, but hid behind a corner, then ran
away.

"It sounded like fireworks," he said.

France has been on edge since deadly attacks by Islamic
extremists in January on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo
and a kosher grocery that left 20 dead, including the three
attackers.

The restaurant targeted Friday, Le Carillon, is in the same
general neighborhood as the Charlie Hebdo offices, as is the Bataclan, among the best-known venues in eastern Paris,near the trendy Oberkampf area known for a vibrant nightlife.

The country remains on edge after January attacks on
satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which had caricatured
the Prophet Muhammad, and a kosher grocery. The Charlie
Hebdo attackers claimed links to extremists in Yemen, while the kosher market attacker claimed ties to the Islam is State group.

The country has seen several smaller-scale attacks or
attempts since, including an incident on a high-speed train
in August in which American travelers thwarted an
attempted attack by a heavily armed man.
Iyo
France's military is bombing Islamic State targets in Syria
and Iraq and fighting extremists in Africa, and extremist
groups have frequently threatened France in the past.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for Friday's
attacks.

French authorities are particularly concerned about the
threat from hundreds of French Islamic radicals who have
travelled to Syria and returned home with skills to stage
violence.

CNN confirmed 60....

Gid will save us, we will never be a victim of terrorism.

Latest reports say at least 100 have been slaughtered!

Just imagine if George Bush didn't invade Iraq. ISIS wouldn't have been in Iraq or Syria. I blame George Bush for allowing these monsters to spring up.

IGBOSON1:
Latest reports say at least 100 have been slaughtered!

I am watching it live now on BBC. "At least 40 dead and 60 others injured" is the latest authoritative info. Terrible and tragic development. Hard to see innocent people slaughtered by extremists who are really psychopathic murderers pretending to be religious avengers. RIP to those who have lost their lives.

sad to hear this

Thank God anthony martial is save

19 minutes into the match at stade de france(France vs Germany),an explosion rocked a bar outside the stadium.

All these govt that sacrifice the safety of their people in the altar of political correctness.

All these people you are taking into your country are religiously and culturally different

If it is a terrorist attack, I've got one religion in mind.....well, your guess is as good as mine.

At least 60 people have died so far from the terrorist attack in Paris, two suicide bombings near the stadium where France was playing Germany with French president watching the game.

George Bush with Dick Cheney endorsed by Tony Blair invaded Iraq just to dethrone Sadam Hussein.The problem was not having any plan to restructure the Iraqi government after the overthrow of Hussein and now Terrorists alongside forces loyal to Hussein formed ISIS.

Religion of vampires! They've taken their unquenchable thirst for blood to their new neighbours. Let it be an eye for an eye!

i blame Europe for allowing these bastard sons of Ishmael blood sucking demons from a terrorist god in Europe disguised as bloody refugees.
