That's intense. Two of these attacks within a year on France. Hopefully they get to the bottom of this.

French president has just held a press conference. Military is circling Paris and a state of emergency has been declared. All borders to France are now closed.

Words really do fail me, reports of five separate attacks in the capital including the stadium and a hostage situation in a theatre. You all ways remember what you are doing and where you are on a nights like this . September 11 and the 7/7 attacks in london were bad enough. I am from London so I know the terror and fear that my paris counterparts are going through. Just awful news, I do not cry often and being a man I do not want to cry but am feeling this way tonight. Thoughts with those in paris

There are some really sick people out there. My thoughts and prayers go out to those in Paris.

Borders have been closed and there are reports that those in the stadium are still in there for there own safety.

Borders have been closed and there are reports that those in the stadium are still in there for there own safety.

Closing the borders is useless now, when there's already 10 million Muslims in France.

It is sick and sad that with all the things we have in the world, and all the reasons to be thankful and happy... there are still people like this who want to only harm innocent people.

The end is nearing, finally.

I'm not trying to take this off topic or pull it away from the horror that did happen, but isn't is strange this happened on "Friday the 13th"?
