An attack on a bar in the French capital, Paris, has caused several casualties, French media report.
At least one man opened fire with an automatic gun at the Cambodge restaurant in the 11th district.

...

A BBC journalist at the scene says he can see 10 people on the road either dead or seriously injured...

[Tyrath]

Yep. Happened nearby the stadium of the current ongoing Germany vs France friendly soccer match.

The French President was evacuated from the stadium. Also read that the crowd wasn't being allowed to leave the stadium.

[Xajii]

Multiple planned attacks appears ot be the case over 30 dead now

[Kyreth]

CNN's only confirmed 18 dead, though multiple wounded- not surprised, though.

This shit will likely continue until ISIS gets it's apocalypse.

[Tyrath]

Apparently 60 people being held hostage at a concert hall too?

What in the fuck is going on.

[Waraji]

So Muslims?

[Tyrath]

Associated Press saying at least 26 dead.

[jmc]

Yup AP reporting 26 dead and "multiple" hostages being held.

[6souls]

Deputy mayor has said 18 killed, police official says 26 with 15 from the theater with the hostage situation.

I think mayhaps this should be split off into it's own thread, in general. This is not YCS quality stuff. Shit's for real yo.

[6souls]

Muslim it does seem. Person who escaped the theater said there were 5 or 6 gunmen claiming they're doing this because of the situation in Syria.

[Kyreth]

Yeah, without a doubt it's another dose of Islamic-flavored terrorism. A single shooter might have been just random anti-Semite nutcase, this is clearly planned out "kill and maim" shit with no other purpose but to make as many dead bodies as possible in the name of loony Allah-worshippers.

At the rate this is going, there won't be a legitimate non-radicalized Muslim safe in Paris or France once the nutcases manage to fan the flames high enough.

Quebec media reporting 40 dead now

[6souls]

French tv station reporting 100 hostages at the theater

[Tarage]

I seriously don't understand the motivation behind this. What is the outcome they think they will achieve that is favorable to them? France gets out of Syria? Not gonna happen. If anything, the opposite will happen. I don't understand what's going through their heads. This only ends badly for them, and makes things worse for them in general.

I understand that it's just "durka durka jihad" but I'd love to understand the logic that goes in to thinking that something like this will benefit your cause...

[6souls]

ISIS/L hasn't claimed responsibility, but supporters on social media are praising it under the hashtag #parisinflames

[Ratatapa]

Someone passed on tv saying they heard yelling for Syria

[6souls]

Soccer match crowd being evacuated after nearby explosion.

Soccer match crowd being evacuated after nearby explosion.

The explosion happened a while ago. They are being evacuated now. Don't think its a direct response.

Would someone please spin this off into its own thread? Perhaps in General Discussion; this is a current event, might be more appropriate there. On mobile, won't be home for hours. No mod controls here.
