Last night, terrorists launched a total of six coordinated attacks at high-profile sites across Paris. French prosecutors have put the current death toll at 128, with 99 critically injured.
- There were two suicide bomb attacks at a bar near the Stade de France where President Hollande was watching the match.
One witness told the Mail:
He felt like he was ‘in a video game’. ‘There was an explosion in front of us. It was a very loud noise. At first I thought it was a bin that had been set alight. But then I thought it wasn’t a fire cracker.
‘Everyone stopped. A man was on the floor screaming. I don’t know what happened to the man. I just heard him scream and move around the floor. He wasn’t unconscious.’
As he approached the stadium door around three minutes later, a second bomb went off 15ft from where he was standing.
He added: ‘It was a very loud noise. I’ve never heard anything like it.
