Gone up to 40 apparently. I was watching the France and Germany match and there was a loud sound but didn't think anything of it. Absolutely wild
By the end this will be worse than 7/7
so sad. when will this nonsense stop? I can understand crimes of passion, but premeditated murder like this is just pointless and sad.
I was watching the France vs Germany game live just now. I heard 2 loud BOOMS but the commentators claimed they were firework. I guess I was right to assume they were explosions?
France is indeed under siege.
@Master_Live: Apparently Germany's preparation for tonight's match was also disrupted by a bomb scare.
If the terrorist are monitoring CNN (unlikely, but not impossible) then some of those hostages might be fucked, a dude that escaped from the Concert Hall where they got the hostages basically said some of his friends are still hiding in a room and communicating with him.
Wow Hollande said they are closing the border.
And calling in the military. Shit just got real.
Reuters on the BBC saying that automatic gunfire and 5 explosions have been heard at the hostage sight in the last few minutes. Hopefully flashbangs.
It's probably going to be a lot more counted dead when a final tally takes place... hell, the people doing this might not be done and I'm not even talking about the ongoing hostage situation.
Hopefully this isn't somehow in coordination with the bombings in Lebanon or it's pointing to a lot more coordinated global terrorist activity.
Curious what set this off? the bombing of Raqqah and attacking Jihadi John? the arresting of the Norwegian recruiting center for ISIS? because more pressure put on ISIS by Russians is Syria and US/Kurdish forces in Northern Iraq?

Don't think one event specifically set it off. France has a huge Muslim population and the Parisian suburbs where some live in are essentially ghettos. They're still involved in the Middle East and North Africa particularly Algeria. A lot of the people going to join ISIS are from France.
I'm going to Vienna for Christmas and have a stop over in Paris. Going to be... interesting to see how security has changed. Last time I was in France it was pretty lax.
Speaking of terrorist scum, a US drone strike killed Jihadi John.
Now he's Jihadi Gone.

Oh my, they killed 100 inside the concert hall.
Some say they've been decapitated ... hope this is not true.
It's been said on Sky News that they were throwing explosives at the crowds in the concert hall, tragic regardless, death is too good for the fuckers capable of this.
I'm shaken up, this is...this is a lot.
It was ongoing and added a lot to the tension

Motherfuckers.
Seems that it's over now. 100 innocent got killed ...sigh
Look, I know I'm morning quarterbacking but it was in CNN, in real time, people communicating from inside the Concert Hall saying they were executing people, and these report went on for a long time. They took a lot of time to breach inside the hall, or at least it seems that way.
But hey, I don't know shit. Authorities were under a lot of pressure, responding to multiple attacks. Just horrible.
