Eiffel Tower goes dark as France mourns 129 dead

French media reports that the shootings happened outside a restaurant in the 10th arrondissement, not far from the former offices of satiric magazine CharlieHebdo. In addition to reinstating border checks, the government “allow the arrest of any person whose activity is unsafe, the temporary closure of theaters and meeting rooms, the surrender of weapons and the ability to carry out administrative searches”.

Border controls remained heightened in France, where President Franois Hollande called the attacks “an act of war”.

The guard-who asked to be identified only by his first name, Zouheir-said the attacker was discovered wearing an explosives vest when he was frisked at the entrance to the stadium about 15 minutes into the game.

The investigation stretches across Europe.

“When I read the news about the Syrian passport, I wondered if those people who are fleeing ISIS are gonna be able to reach Europe”.

Greek authorities have confirmed that the passport belonged to a man who registered as a refugee on the island of Leros in October and they are checking the fingerprints of a second man.

The paper also identified two other victims of the attack at the Eagles of Death Metal show: French citizens Djamila Houd, 41, and Thomas Ayad, 34. Unlike those in January against Charlie Hebdo, none of the assailants had ever been jailed for terror offences.

Also Saturday, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported that the father and a brother of one of the attackers had been taken into custody.

Prints found on a finger in the Bataclan matched those of Mostefai in police files.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told a news conference on Saturday Mostefai had came to the authorities’ attention in 2010 as having been radicalised but had “never been implicated in a terrorist network or plot”.

A Belgian official, who spoke to The Associated Press in Brussels on condition of anonymity, said two of the seven attackers who died in Paris on Friday night were French men living in Brussels, one of them in the neighborhood of St. Jans Molenbeek.

The Paris attacks were “prepared, organised and planned overseas, with help from inside (France)”, Hollande said. One of them was a propane tank in a backpack loaded with screws and bolts.

The profile of Abu Salman, the Frenchman’s nom de guerre, is one of many slick videos aiming to recruit Westerners to Islamic State by trying to show that Western society’s secularism fails to inspire young men like him.

Three of the militants blew up their explosive vests as elite anti-terror police raided the venues around 12:30 am while a fourth was shot dead.

“We need everyone … there can’t be two coalitions in Syria”, Sarkozy said.

“The more you carry this stuff around, the more you multiply the risks”. At the time of his speech, shortly before 6:00 pm Eastern time, he said that the attacks and security operations against them were still ongoing. Olivier Bas was among several hundred who gathered late Saturday at the site of the Bataclan concert hall massacre.

And at La Casa Nostra restaurant on 92 Rue de la Fontaine au Roi in the 11th district, the terrorists mounted another attack, with at least five dead.

Seven people were detained yesterday in Belgium in connection with deadly attacks in Paris as the city entered three days of mourning.

The scale of the loss of life sent shockwaves around the world.

England fans are being pressed to sing the French national anthem, the Marseillaise, during the match.

US President Barack Obama described the onslaught as “an attack on all of humanity” and Pope Francis said he was “shaken” by the “inhuman” attacks.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said the attacks “suggest a new degree of planning and coordination and a greater ambition for mass casualty attacks”.

The first attacker in Paris carnage identified by French authorities is 29-year-old Omar Ismail Mostefai who had been known to police but had never been imprisoned, AFP reported.
