The Tour Eiffel’s lights have been shut down as a sign of mourning for the ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY people are dead in seven separate terrorist attack in the French Capital tonight. It all started around 9 pm (local time) when a Kamikaze killed forty people blowing himself up at the stadium where a Soccer game was being played. The French president himself was at the game and was quickly evacuated. Later at a concert hall (the BATACLAN) there were about 1500 people inside. 100 (updated to 118 now) of them were killed by three terrorists that attacked with automatic weapons, taking about 60 hostages. The security forces stormed the place around midnight (local time) and managed to free at least twenty hostages. Two of the three terrorists were killed and one seems to have been taken alive. (update: all three were killed) French President Holland in a dramatic TV announcement declared the state of emergency and sealed off all frontier. The defense council has been summoned for tomorrow. All museums and public places will be closed tomorrow. This video (Raw) shows the moments of the attack at the concert hall
