Terrorists launched a total of six coordinated attacks at high profile sites across Paris:
- Two suicide bomb attacks at a bar near the Stade de France led to President Hollande being evacuated from the stadium. He has since declared a national state of emergency.
- Two terrorists with AK47s burst into the Bataclan concert hall, where rock band Eagles of Death Metal were performing. They sprayed bullets and threw grenades into thousands of people before they started slaughtering people one by one.
- There was a shootout inside a restaurant on Rue Bichat, on Paris' 10th arrondissement, at around 9pm. At least 11 people were killed in the melee.
- Gunfire and bomb blasts have also been reported at the Louvre art gallery, the Pompidou Centre and Les Halles shopping centre.
A series of coordinated terror attacks in the heart of Paris have left as many as 142 dead and paralysed the French capital with fear.
French police arrested one man who claimed to have been recruited by ISIS alongside three other extremists, it has been reported.
Around 112 were massacred at the Bataclan concert hall alone, where terrorists were holding around 100 people hostage, and another 11 at a restaurant shootout yesterday evening.
Police raided the theatre at around midnight, killed the three terrorists inside and freed the remaining hostages.
Just five miles away, two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France sports stadium where the French football team was playing a friendly match against Germany.
French President Francoise Hollande declared a national state of emergency following what he called 'unprecedented terror attacks', shut its borders and deployed 1,500 extra troops to the capital. Daily Mail Read More>>>>>>>
