Getting worse all the time!
Appalling!

God I've only just heard this. Been out. 60 plus now dead. Shocked.

Indinana, I wasn't suggesting for a moment that this atrocity hadn't been carefully planned.

The year started with the Charlie Hebdo attack, and ends in this blood bath. I fear for Paris, and the rest of the world...

I doubt it merlot - I think this would have needed longer to plan. Also, being Friday 13th, it's been said that this would be the sort of date the terrorists would choose, because of its significance.

I think it is worse too.

Personally I wouldnt have thought it was linked, as it seems co-ordinated and planned. But on the other hand, it is rather a big co-incidence.

OMG, what ever next? It's just awful,and where it's all going to end god only knows. Heartfelt sympathy for the victims.

Could this be linked to the killing of Jihadi John I wonder?

I think this is worse than we're being told at the moment.

Around 30 lives lost now sad angry

It's at times like this that I so want to have a belief in some sort of afterlife, some sort of divine judgment. The thought of these evil people escaping justice in this life and being able eventually to die with no ultimate sanction is too much to take.
My heart bleeds for everyone involved, all the families, friends and anyone touched by the terror in France tonight.

B****y terrorists and extremist, what makes them think they have their god-given right to take innocent lives angry

Now they're saying 3 incidents. 11 dead. And an unconfirmed hostage situation. Horrific. Heart goes out to the poor people caught up in this.

Not heard about this, another terrible incident.

Just dreadful sad

Watching the news and there have been 2 separate incidents in Paris (one explosion near a football ground and one shoot out at a restaurant.). 4 dead so far. So awful. What is happening?
