Can't describe how sorry I am for Paris, but this thread is not about praying or say sorry to France. I want to start this because I want to know more than only the perspective of my country how this terror attack happened. And please this thread is only for gathering information and not for giving a statement. Post only things you heard on the news. Please also post the source despite if we understand it or not. In Austria the News are saying that there was a hostage (sorry i don't know the word for "Geiselnahme") in a concert. The police only managed to get in at 00:30. 80 peoples were killed. Almost in the same time there were explosions around "Stade de France". Also more explosions in several restaurants. Francois Holland wants to make stronger controls at the borders. IS stated that they are the terrorists who did this, with a video. IS people are celebrating their terrorism on twitter. Hollande considered in June that they get something like the NSA to prevent more terror attacks (now he might be more serious). In Bayern (Germany) 2 people who are potential terrorists who wanted to drive to Paris got caught. Still unsure if they are terrorists. Politic analysts states that IS is weak and that this terror attack is showing it. The reason they attacked is that France threw bombs on Syrien against the IS. In total over 128 people got killed (number still unclear) There is more (not so important) information but that are the main points.

I think the english word for Geiselnahme is taking of hostages. In Germany its the same that the news are saying.
