Militants have stormed a rock concert, attacked restaurants and detonated at least one suicide bomb leaving around 120 dead across Paris. French President Francois Hollande declares state of emergency and seals borders.Authorities in Paris say at least five suspected attackers had been killed following the deadliest attack in the French capital since World War II.
At least 120 have been killed in some six attacks that targeted concertgoers, diners and bar patrons as militants fire assault rifles and detonated explosives in apparently indiscriminate attacks.
The Paris prosecutor’s office says five suspected attackers had been “neutralized” in battles with police but that accomplices could still be at large.
The carnage apparently began with an explosion near the Stade de France north of the capital. Witnesses at the stadium, where Germany had been facing off against France in a soccer friendly, reported hearing two explosions.
Following the final whistle, spectators flooded the pitch as news of the attacks spread. Organizers started evacuating the stadium by three doors.
