Looks like a large-scale coordinated attack
France has closed its borders and declared a nationwide state of emergency. Multiple attacked have been taken place around Paris. There are reports of 4 to 7 separate attacks.
There are at least 60 dead but it's early and still ongoing. If those numbers are right it's the worst attack on France since WWII.
Everyone has had enough of this.
It's about to be a very tough time for Muslims in France and elsewhere because the public outrage will be far worse than Charlie Hebdo.
It's just a very sad, sad way to start the weekend. Our hearts go out to France.
Update: French police now report that two attackers at the theatre have been killed. Another sketchy report suggests a suspect was arrested.

Update: It just gets worse and worse. Another person died in hospital on Saturday and the death toll is 129.
We also have to mention the tragic twin suicide bombs in Lebanon on Friday where at least 41 people were killed and 200 wounded. It's the worst attack in Beirut since the 1990 civil war ended.
