Paris attacked again!

pragmatic

Currently on going, looks like multiple coordinated attacks, many killed, bombs, drivebys on bars/restaurants and hundreds of hostages at a Rock concert.

Thoughts with everyone in Paris.

state of emergency declared with 40 dead and 70  hostages held in concert hall.

What is going on is it muslim related with JJ being killed today.

I suspect that the JJ death is a coincidence , the attack looks planned

Borders closed, curfew in place. Big American rock band concert "eagles of death metal"

Parisians using #porteouverte on Twitter for people stranded in Paris who need places to stay.

Hideous news this.

'Confirmed' suicide bombers attacked the football stadium earlier, several died.

Syria was apparently mentioned in the rock concert, by those that escaped.

There are reports of on going gun shots heard around the city.

There will be a lot of roomers, there is ongoing panic, but it sounds like there is still not a handle on this/contained it.

its good that Parisians are helping each other out, that shows the real human response

More to do with French military operations in Syria.  They are actively engaged in War, against Islamic State.

no, this looks planned. I woulnd't be surprised if this has been many many months in the planning.

More than 150 killed in Paris.

I wonder how this will escalate, what will the response be?

Just thought I'd get this in before the politicians do- This has nothing to do with the religion of peace.
