We still don’t know exactly what has happened in Paris, but these are the outlines:
French president Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency and closed all borders late Friday after terrorist gunmen opened fire at multiple locations in central Paris, killing dozens of people and taking almost 100 people hostage at a rock concert.
Explosions also erupted at the Stade de France, the national stadium, where Germany and France were holding a soccer match, the Associated Press reports.
“It is a terrible trauma for France,” Hollande, who had been at the stadium, said in a national TV address.”Once again we are under attack.”
He said the French military was being deployed around Paris after the unprecedented attacks.
“The terrorists want to scare us and instill fear,” he said. “There are reasons to be afraid, but the nation knows how to defend itself and mobilize its forces and how to defeat the terrorists.”
The death toll ranged as high as 60 in the French media. The Associated Press quoted police as saying 35 were killed in the attacks.
Expect this report to change radically over the next 2-3 hours. I know what you’re thinking: this is how the Religion of Peace celebrates after Friday prayers.

Could be. Suicide attacks are nearly a copyrighted move by Islamic terrorists. In addition to the signature move — suicide attacks — the fact that President Hollande has closed national borders indicates that he doesn’t think it is the Trappist monks acting up again. The national government also seems to think this attack is beyond the ability of a very robust Parisian police force to handle:
CONFIRMED : At least 400 soldiers are now being sent as support in addition to the 200 already deployed in Paris.
