Eiffel Tower goes dark as France mourns 129 dead
"PARIS—Seven people, including one man who was previously flagged as a security risk by French authorities because of his radical beliefs, killed 129 people over half an hour on Friday evening in multiple attacks around the French capital, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said on Saturday.On Saturday, Belgian authorities arrested three people because they were suspected of having helped provide a car used in one of the attacks, said Mr. Molins, who described the first findings of the investigation he is leading.
Mr. Molins said the attacks, which killed at least 129 people and injured at least 352, began at the
Stade de France during a match between the national soccer teams of France and Germany. Two attackers set off suicide vests at the stadium, killing themselves and one other person.
At around 9:30 p.m, gunmen in a black SEAT car drove around eastern Paris, firing on the customers at several restaurants. The car arrived at Le Bataclan at 9:40 p.m., where three gunmen entered the theater and killed dozens of people.
All the gunmen wore suicide vests containing the explosive TATP, a chemical used in other major terrorist attacks such as the London bombings of 2005, Mr. Molins said. All the attackers either killed themselves by detonating their vests, or were shot by police, Mr. Molins said.
Earlier Saturday, French President François Hollande vowed a “merciless” response to Islamic State, claiming the extremist group was responsible for the well-coordinated attacks and left the French capital in a state of shock.
“It is an act of war that was waged by a terrorist army, a jihadist army, by Daesh, against France,” Mr. Hollande said, using an Arabic name for Islamic State." WSJ
"Athens (AFP) - Two men who French police are seeking to identify in connection with the Paris attacks registered as migrants with Greek authorities earlier this year, the Greek police confirmed on Saturday.
French authorities had asked their Greek counterparts to check a passport and fingerprints of one man who died in the attacks and the fingerprints of another.
Both were thought to have registered in Greece, the main entry point into Europe for Syrian refugees.
At least one Syrian passport was found at the scene of the Stade de France attack." yahoo
