Well, Agence France has now confirmed that witnesses inside the Bataclan have said that Allahu Akbar was indeed shouted by the attackers while firing.

A security expert on France 24 right now is saying that this level of attack is almost certainly perpetrated by a native Parisian. Only a native would be able to coordinate something this detailed.

Likely a returnee from ISIS.

Thier live feed is good.

Global National is reporting a curfew has now been instituted in France. First time since the latter part of WW2, according to them.

That's what I was hearing, too. Currently suspecting radicalized and returned youths.

Yeah, I've been watching it for a couple of hours now and it's been generally quite good.

This is an incredibly complex operation that was pulled off here. It's uncomfortable to think that if this can be accomplished in Paris, it can probably be accomplished almost anywhere. It's just incredibly difficult to prevent an attack of this sort if people really want to undertake it.

Hard to imagine this being pulled off considering the high level of security in Paris since January. I would tend to believe the security agency in France to be one of the best in the world as well.

You know they are just going to add more fuel to the fire now. Extremists of all stripes live for this stuff. I fear a brutal situation is going to get a lot worse in Europe now.
