At least 100 people are reported to have died at the Bataclan concert hall in central Paris.
Gunmen took many hostages there before being overpowered when police stormed the building.
Others died in attacks near the Stade de France, with some reports suggesting a suicide blast, and at restaurants.

And this is why PMCs (Private Military Companies) Should be allowed to fight in wars when Countries are too scared to do it (a PMC isnt a country, meaning no retaliation from terrorists)

Edited by FriedUpChicken: 11/13/2015 11:29:51 PMBritish Prime Minister Cameron has stated that England shall help in any way they can and pray for the French people. I hope these people will be protected by God. I'm never very religious but I will be praying for these poor souls. I hope some of you do too
-
Such a tragedy.
-
Holy shit. This world is really -blam!-ed up
-
So incredibly sad that stuff like this still happens around the world. So disgusting. My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved ones, and everyone dealing with this tragedy.

Love and positive thought going out from across the Atlantic. So many lives ended too soon.
-
I don't have words to explain how -blam!-ed up this is.
-
This is truly horrible. Hopefully the leaders of our respected countries will band together and take these terroristic -blam!-s more seriously and wipe them off the face of the earth.
-
-blam!-ing worthless excuses for humans. I really hope it doesn't get worse.

Dear God this is awful...

I heard from Fox News(please don't make this political) that they had heard from multiple sources that in one of the places, the gunmen had shouted "for Syria" and "Allahu Ahkbar(translation:God is good)".

I'm following the NYT feed but haven't seen that thank God.
