  1. Gunmen killed more than 120 people in a wave of attacks across Paris on Friday, shouting "Allahu akbar" as they massacred scores of diners and concert-goers and launched suicide attacks outside the national stadium...

    Four black-clad gunmen wearing suicide vests and wielding AK-47s stormed into the Bataclan venue in eastern Paris and fired calmly and methodically at hundreds of screaming concert-goers.

    At least 120 people were killed and 200 injured across six locations around the French capital, which is still reeling from jihadist attacks in January.

    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.

    The Bataclan lies just 200 meters from the former offices of the Charlie Hebdo magazine which was one of the targets of those attacks...............http://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/europe/92392-151114-france-declares-state-of-emergency-after-terror-attacks
