Bloodbath in Paris: 130 killed as jihadist gunmen blow themselves up at concert and Kalashnikov-wielding terrorist opens fire in restaurant. Suicide bombers detonate near Stade de France
- More than 150 people were killed and several wounded in a series of terror attacks in the heart of Paris last night
- Up to 118 were massacred in the Bataclan concert hall where terrorists were holding hundreds of people hostage
- The terrorists shouted 'Allah Akbar' and 'this is for Syria' as they burst in and opened fire, eyewitnesses have said
- Police raided the theatre at around midnight, killed the three extremists inside and freed the remaining hostages
- French President Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency for whole country and reinstates border checks
More than 150 people have been killed in a series of coordinated terror attacks in the heart of Paris which have paralysed the French capital.
As many as 118 people were massacred at a concert in the Bataclan theatre following a hostage situation last night that concluded in a suicide attack while another 11 were shot down at a Cambodian restaurant.
While death toll estimates range from 120 to 150, early reports suggest a further 200 people are being treated for injuries, with 80 of them seriously hurt.
Investigators said at least eight attackers were dead by the end of the violence – the bloodiest in Europe since the Madrid train bombings in 2004 – with seven of them having blown themselves up.
Four of the attackers were killed in the concert hall, three by activating their suicide vests while one was shot by police.
Just five miles away, suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France sports stadium where the French football team was playing Germany while another died in a street in eastern Paris. Other gunmen or accomplices could still be at large.
