Paris Attacks

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/casualties...l?vp=1#zfGEiuI


At least 30 people have been killed and around 100 others are being held hostage following a series of attacks across Paris on Friday night.

Police say there have been multiple shootings and two explosions across the French capital.

One of the shootings took place at the Bataclan theatre in the 11th arrondissement where police say around 100 people are still being held hostage.

Witnesses at the theatre have reported seeing two armed men enter the building and open fire.

In the 10th arrondissement - not far from the offices of magazine publisher Charlie Hebdo - police say 11 people were killed near a restaurant.

Witnesses have described seeing bodies lying in the streets. According to local media reports, the gunman have not been caught.

Elsewhere in the capital, several explosions took place near the Stade de France, where the national football team was playing Germany.

President Francois Hollande was inside the stadium at the time, but has since been rushed to the Interior Ministry to deal with the unfolding situation.

An Associated Press reporter who was at the stadium has recounted hearing two explosions that were loud enough to penetrate the sound of cheering fans

No let up is there. Seems we at war in the West but haven't cottoned on to the fact yet.

Re: Paris Attacks

So true MKJ, there is no let up and neither will there be. Many people have cottoned on to the fact but unfortunately they are not the people who have any say, others still keep their heads well buried in the sand. 30 people dead already and 100 hostages who must be terrified, no doubt with good reason. Whoever these gunmen are I hope they are caught quickly, sod their human rights, they are not human and deserve no rights. I sincerely hope the hostages are released safely and their captors shot.
