Report: More than 120 killed in Paris shooting and bombing attack

The perpetrators remain a mystery — their nationalities, their motives, even their exact number. However, eyewitnesses say that some attackers were heard shouting “Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for “God is great,” during the melee.

Several heavily armed attackers storm Paris concert hall where California band Eagles of Death Metal was playing
A witness told Al Jazeera that several men entered the Bataclan concert hall and started firing into the air. An American band called Eagles of Death Metal was playing to a packed crowd of close to 1,000 people.

Attackers held as many as 100 hostages for several hours at the concert hall until French security forces raided the venue and defeated the hostage takers, who were reportedly executing people inside.

Four attackers were killed at Bataclan, three of which detonated explosive vests they were wearing, officials said. Police shot and killed the fourth.
