Lost in the worst violence to strike this city since world war ii. At least one of those lives was american, more than 350 people are hurt. 99 of them at this hour critically fighting for their lives. All of this in a coordinated series of bomb blasts and shootings that began almost 24 hours ago. Now, isis is claiming responsibility and warning that these attacks are, quote, the first of the storm. The president of france says that this is war. Isis says there were eight attackers armed with automatic rifles and wrapped in explosives. The french say they were seven attackers and they are giving us much more information we have learned in the past few minutes. All of the attackers from last night were killed, one was a French National already known to police. And police are now trying to track down accomplices. There are so many questions about that outstanding at this time. Raids underway in belgium tonight. And we are learning more by on that, minute by minute as these raids are happe
Isis, he appoints them, he has said, look, we have this foreign expedition air arm, as the caliphate begins to shrink and as the mujahideen cant cross, we want people to first, stay where they are in the west and become sleeper cells. Pledge allegiance to the caliphate, form their own networks and commit attacks where they are. But if that doesnt work, we will send operatives from syria and from iraq into the rest and they can ringlead and coordinate this. This is a very, very, as i said before, sophisticated project and it has multiple arms. And of course, the outcome we now see, as evidenced behind us in the bataclan theater, terrible. 128 people dead. General mark hurtling, thank you very much. Michael weiss, thank you very much. Well continue our coverage right now into the investigation, into the attacks here in paris. Youre looking at live pictures from this city, where we are now expecting a News Conference any minute now from the prosecutor leading the investigation. He will ha
Candles, remembering the dead, and then all of a sudden in a split second, there was absolute panic. Quite simply, i havent seen anything like it in europe before people just began to stampede. They were running down the street. Women were shrieking. People were saying that there have been gunshots though it didnt appear there actually had been. We saw, you know, women grabbing their children, pushing strollers, desperately running from what they thought were their lives. Policemen suddenly flooding the streets heavily armed, waving guns at us, telling us to clear the streets. I kept asking them whats the problem, please explain, whats going on, and it was clear throughout this scenario that honestly the police were just as fryattened as the people were and were just as confused, just as panicked. Theres a sense there are other attackers out there. And it really was such a sharp contrast to this defiance that weve seen, people who i had spoken to said we cant be afraid but a if were af
The city has seen in decades. Officials saying at least seven terrorists working in teams of coordinated effort targeting six different locations across paris, including a concert hall, as you see behind me, that bataclan concert hall, soccer stadium on the outskirts of of paris, a restaurant. The kinds of places, everyone, ordinary people go to enjoy friday night. We know 129 people killed, 352 wounded in shootings, suicide bombings. We know an American College student, 23yearold design student, is among the dead. 89 of the victims found inside that concert hall behind me. One survivor describing it as a bloodbath with three of the attackers firing and reloading firing and reloading, some at pointblank range, for at least ten minutes. Now, theres word from belgium there have been multiple arrests in belgium linked to the attacks here. Of course, this all comes just ten months after the horrific Charlie Hebdo massacre, weeks since downing of the russian jetliner over Sharm El Sheikh th
