Liberation newspaper has quoted Vincent, a journalist who was at the Stade de France, where France was playing Germany in a football game.

"Everybody went onto the pitch. The crowd of anxious people began moving after the final whistle, no one knew what had happened outside. We heard two big bangs in the first half and then another one that was smaller. A helicopter was in the air above the stadium after half time," he said.

"The match carried on as if nothing had happened but we were following everything on Twitter, especially the fact that President Hollande had been evacuated even though none of us saw him leave. I didn't see any of the second half. There was an announcement that people should leave via the south, north and west exits but five minutes later many of the spectators had returned."

Our prayers and thoughts go out to those in Paris.

British Ambassador Tony Brenton wrote:I was in Washington a few days ago and they are undoubtedly feeling pretty upset that their incompetence has been demonstrated by the Russians coming in as they have.

"American policy has gone wrong in a lot of ways and their original training programme didn't work and their missions on the ground have visibly not been very effective.

"So in public terms they were looking for successes and that is partly for the fact that the Russians are doing so well on the ground.

NATO attacking Iraq is what led to this in the first place. Maybe NATO should take a breather from uniting and attacking.

(And, while unfortunate, no matter how high the death toll goes in Paris it won't be half that of the Beslan school massacre.)

Step aside... and let the professionals from Moscow fix your problem.

"You people have no idea idea what you've just unleashed. In a few years you'll find out. On that day, do not say Saif al-Islam did not warn you."

(In other anniversary news, 59 years ago on the day of the Paris attacks, roughly the same number of Palestinians were killed in the Rafah Massacre when an Israeli army patrol suddenly showed up in the village, rounded-up all boys over the age of 15, and summarily executed them.)

Note, I'm not judging France, people just have to understand that there is no distinction between civilian and combatant in this war from either side.

Countries that have stayed out of the mess that is Syria haven't been attacked. I remember Hollande giving his announcement that France was going to start conducting bombing missions in Syria. He framed it as France "defending itself". This is the inevitable blowback that comes from intervening in quagmires like Syria.
The ironic thing is, though we'll never know for sure and it won't be reported, but the people who carried out this attack in Paris have had in the past at least indirect support of some kind from the US. Whether the US intended to give said support to such radical elements, this is what has been going on for years in Syria. US giving arms, training, money and expertise to supposed "moderate Islamists" always finds its way into the hands of the Jihadists.

My sincere condolences to France, the victims and the families of the victims.

Get your facts straight, NATO did not attack Irag in the second Gulf War. W. Bush decided to go it alone on LIES.

But, the Russians and Chinese are great at telling LIES, but they have their own media protecting their own citizens from these LIES.
