ISIL Says Carried out Paris Attacks
Several terrorists carried out seven attacks in different parts of Paris late on Friday, al-Fajr website reported.
The terrorist bombings and shootings left at least 200 people injured, some of whom are in critical conditions, police said.
They took place in several venues, ranging from the national sports stadium to a pizzeria.
French President Francois Hollande has declared a state of emergency in a bid to contain the security situation in the country.
“As I speak, terrorist attacks of unprecedented proportions are underway in the Paris area. There are dozens killed, there are many injured. It is a horror.”
He also said France’s borders have been ordered shut following the attacks.
“We must ensure that no one comes in to commit any act whatsoever, and at the same time make sure that those who have committed these crimes should be arrested if they try to leave the country,” the French president said in a brief televised statement.
