Paris was left devastated after series of attacks across the French capital killed more than 100 people and injured dozens more, marking the deadliest attack on French soil since the Second World War.
Speaking near a popular concert venue where scores of people were taken hostage Friday night Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins says the death toll in the attacks at six sites across the city may surpass 120. He added that five attackers may have also been killed.
The attack sites included the hostage taking at the Bataclan music hall in the 11th district in central Paris, a shooting at two restaurants in another neighbourhood and explosions outside a stadium that might have involved two suicide attacks.
French President Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency following the attacks, closing France’s international borders and deployed the military around Paris.
French police had reported that at least 100 people were killed at the concert hall itself, including two attackers. The Associated Press reported that the hostage takers at Bataclan had tossed explosives at the hostages inside.
“This is a terrible ordeal that again assails us,” Hollande said outside the Bataclan concert hall, shortly after security forces had ended the siege. “We know where it comes from, who these criminals are, who these terrorists are.”
“We will lead the fight. It will be ruthless,” he said.

“These terrorist attacks are deeply worrying and obviously unsettling to people around the world. We have offered all of our help and support to the government of France and the people of France at this time.”
More than 10 people were reportedly killed in the shootings at the restaurants Le Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon in the 10th district near where the hostage taking occurred.

Suzan Yucel, a Dutch journalist visiting the city, was supposed to go to Le Petit Cambodge Friday evening and was across the street at a bar when the violence started.
“We were having our beers outside and all of a sudden there were like fireworks or maybe a shooting so we all started running. We just ran to the other side of the street. Then the shooting stopped for a while and then it started again so we just continued running,” she said. “We didn’t know what was happening. Everyone was running and people were throwing their drinks away. Just running.”
“If we had been seated where were supposed to we might have been one of those people shot,” she added.
