Paris Under Seige...
sadly breaking news with several attacks in Paris just a short time ago - one at Stade de France during a Germany-France match and as MSNBC reports at a place where young folk gather.
Chaos in Paris - when will this sickening stuff stop.

Ongoing reports of a shooting at the Cambodge Restaurant in the 11e, and near the Bataclan arts centre too, as well as a bar near the Stade de France.

MSNBC says 40 deaths so far too and gun fights still going on. One suicide bombing apparently near the Stade where French President was watching a 'friendly' match. three locations - stadium - in bar near stadium - two suicide bombings and a popular nightclub with young folk with up to 50 perhaps killed there with 100 hostages still inside and one other place in Paris.
So so triste,
Why is Paris such a target over other countries? Hopefully will not start an even more anti-Moslem feeling than currently.

There is another small live-venue theatre near the restaurant Cambodge that came under attack. Hard not to wonder if a plan to attack that theatre was thwarted, and gunmen just opened fire on the nearest large crowd. Cambodge is a very popular restaurant, where people queue to get in.

I want to clarify the writing in my post:
Very near the restaurant Cambodge, which came under attack and many people died, there is a small theatre venue. It DIDN'T come under attack, but I am wondering it was the intended target.

Also, many obvious terrorist targets in Paris are guarded by militarised, highly armed police. These apparently not.
Hollande was at the game near where the suicide bombings occur, and I don't think that was a coincidence.
