Paris Terror Attacks Kill At Least 160

The worst terrorist attack on a Western city since 9/11 unfolded in France on Friday, leaving the nation in a state of near-martial law.

Terrorists killed more at least 118 people at a music theater in Paris and more than 40 at several other sites on Friday, according to police.

More than 100 people were held hostage in the Bataclan theater after a performance by American rock band Eagles of Death Metal. French police stormed the theater around 12:30 a.m. local time, killing two terrorists. Hostages inside said people were being killed one by one.

The attack is the deadliest terrorist attack on a Western city since September 11, 2001, according to Intelcenter, a jihadist-monitoring site. The Paris attack is also only the 28th terrorist attack to kill more than 100 people since 2001.

French President François Hollande issued an emergency decree in a midnight address to the nation. Hollande said he has closed France's borders, restricted travel internally, and mobilized thousands of troops.  All Paris residents have been ordered to stay indoors for the first time since 1944.

The French cabinet has authorized authorities to temporarily close places of public assembly, impose house arrest on anyone considered dangerous, confiscate weapons, and conduct searches with more leeway.

A senior U.S. official tells The Daily Beast's Kimberly Dozier that there are "no specific credible threats to the homeland" at this time. President Obama said the terrorists have attacked "all of humanity."

According to the French daily Liberation, a witness to the Bataclan shooting heard one of the shooters shout “Allahu Akhbar.” A concertgoer told CNN that two terrorists entered the theater and began firing randomly at people for ten minutes.

"They didn't shout anything. They didn't say anything," Julien Pearce said. "They were in masks and wearing black clothes and they were shooting at people on the floor, executing them."

Pearce said he carried a girl who was bleeding through an exit backstage.

The attack has killed more than 10 times as many people as the al-Qaeda attack onCharlie Hebdo, whose offices are a seven-minute walk from the Bataclan.

Eyewitnesses have described bodies lying dead in the street in what U.S. officials are already suggesting is another coordinated series of terrorist attacks—the worst in the French capital since the Hebdo shooting, which was followed a day later by an ISIS-inspired shooting at the Hypercasher kosher marketplace on the outskirts of Paris.

"There were two or three Individuals—two for sure—who... started pulling blind with automatic weapons, one with a Kalashnikov," one witness told Le Monde. "It lasted at least ten, fifteen minutes. They reloaded, they had all the time he needed. They charged three or four times... They fired pointing down with the butt on the shoulder... When the shooting stopped we took advantage of the lull to take the emergency exit, and there we saw lots of people on the street that were covered in blood, who had gunshot wounds."

"I lay against the sound console," a second witness told the paper. "Then 20-30 bullets were fired, they fired randomly. I saw assault rifles. I stepped on the body, there was blood. In the street there were dead."

The first known attack was on the Petit Cambodge restaurant in Paris's 10th arrondissement.

Almost simultaenously, two suicide bombers attacked outside the Stade de France, just north of Paris, where France and Germany were playing in a soccer match. Hollande was in attendance and safely evacuated. At least three people were reportedly killed and 80,000 evacuated.

Gunman are still reportedly on the loose. It is not known who they are or what terrorist group, if any, they are associated with.
