Apologies, but Fox sourced that quote from Paris news.

analyst on MSNBC speculating these attacks have more of the al qaeda hallmarks than ISIS/ISIL.

 

[Body_Hammer]

Here we go again.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Jesus Christ, this is absolutely beyond horrible

RIP and condolences to those affected.

Makes me scared as a Londoner and afraid for the rest of Europe.

 

[Walpurgis]

As a response and to avoid further attacks in the case it is a proven attacker? Absolutely.

You would fit in well with ISIS.

To keep the police busy there during the day?

Good point.

 

[BobTheFork]

I just woke up, holy shit....

Some much confusing information to take in at once. I don't like what I'm hearing : (

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Are CNN actually broadcasting from outside the concert hall where hostages were taken, even though the French government has asked news agencies not to show what is happening there?

Apparently not.

They have played cellphone footage from social media, and they are receiving reports and video from a France 24 team, who says they have not been asked to move back from their position, IIRC around 300 meters from the side of the theater.

 

[Big_Al]

My heart goes out to everyone affected by this and stay safe ParisGAF.

Stuff like this makes me never wanna leave my small town. I know it's irrational, but it does really make you afraid.

It's strange looking at it from a different perspective as being from Northern Ireland I grew up with constant news stories of bombings/attacks due to the Troubles and it was very much a daily occurrence. Nothing like this of course as in 3 - 4 attacks at once but it just feels so familiar, my dad said the same thing to me as we were watching the news reports earlier (which are still unfolding)

 

[Haines]

So this is still ongoing??

[Stumpokapow]

I thought this was from the facebook post from someone inside the venue

it is, yes, it is a facebook post that got covered by french media that got covered by us media, it's very old by the fluid standards of this story, and there has been significant progress since then

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

What the fuck is happening

 

[TTOOLL]

The consequences will be HUGE this time.

 

[Herb Alpert]

Not condoning what they did but the Russian Alpha Team dealt with terrorists in Boss mode... These people obviously don't care about their own lives.

I hope for the hostages that this situation won't be deal this way...

 

[Maztorre]

France has to consider a boots on ground offensive after this, right?

Because that has worked out so well in recent history, right?

 

[opticalmace]

Jesus christ... I don't know what else to say.

 

[Lapidus' Beard]

This is frightening. Really frightening.
Stay safe everybody!

 

[Oersted]

A suicide attack in the middle of a football game. Surreal.

[King Tubby]

MSNBC is says that US counter terrorism is saying that this is probably Al-Qaeda.

Source of a source I know.

I doubt any of this is going to be accurate for some time.

The only news I'm interested in right now is that the situation is under control.

 

[daviyoung]

Did Sky News just say 5 explosions????!?

5 explosions and gun fire outside the concert hall

 

[Pristine_Condition]

CNN had an eyewitness report from a french media member/radio host, who was in the theater and witnessed it.

 

[killer rin]

Holy hell, this is horrifying to hear about. Stay safe Paris-Gaf. Hope you guys get these fuckers responsible.

 

[Oersted]

Yes. Atleast the hostage situation.

[Nevasleep]

FOX NEWS: "they're killing hostages one by one" -witness

How would they know this?

 

[Anfony O]

Fortunately that guy seems to have gotten out safely.

Man this is the sadest thing I've ever read. Any word if they are going to raid the concernt hall.

 

[Kerned]

You would fit in well with ISIS.

This shit is fucking uncalled for.

 

[Tugatrix]

Five explosions? WHat the fuck!

flashbangs I hope

 

[stufte]

How do we solve this problem. I've had enough.

Not easily. I'd doubt that we could ever solve this problem permanently. :\
