GUNMEN and
bombers attacked restaurants, a concert hall and a sports stadium at locations
across Paris on Friday, killing at least 120 people in what a shaken President Francois Hollande called an
unprecedented terrorist attack.
A Paris city hall official said gunmen systematically
slaughtered nearly 100 people attending a rock concert at the Bataclan music
hall. Anti-terrorist commandos eventually launched an assault on the building,
killed the gunmen and rescued dozens of shocked survivors.

Some 40 other people were killed in up to five other attacks
in the Paris region, the city hall official said, including an apparent double
suicide bombing outside the national stadium where Hollande and the German
Foreign Minister were watching a friendly soccer international.
The apparently coordinated assault came as France, a founder
member of the U.S.-led coalition waging air strikes against Islamic State
fighters in Syria and Iraq, was on high alert for terrorist attacks ahead of a
global climate conference due to open later this month.
After being whisked from the soccer stadium near the blasts,
Hollande declared a nationwide state of emergency - the first in decades - and
announced the closure of France's borders to stop perpetrators escaping.

- At least 153 people were killed in the Paris and Saint-Denis shootings and bombings, French officials said. Saint-Denis is home to the national stadium where the soccer match was being played.
- The worst carnage occurred at Bataclan, with at least 112 left dead. A journalist who was at a rock concert there escaped and told CNN: "We lied down on the floor not to get hurt. It was a huge panic. The terrorists shot at us for 10 to 15 minutes. It was a bloodbath." Julien Pearce didn't hear the attackers speak, but he said one friend who escaped heard them talk about Iraq and Syria. Later, he said the men were speaking French. Two men dressed in black started shooting and after wounded people fell to the floor, the gunmen shot them again, execution-style, he said.
