It's tragic I was worried about possible retailiations after the news about Jihadi John earlier today.

This was planned well before yesterday, I'm sure. Maybe they knew it was coming and were prepared to strike back. Something this huge can't come together overnight. Can it?

EST can someone tell me when it "started " est ?

Possibly due to Jihadi John's ISIS leader possible death attack earlier today the attacks might have been in the planning and they brought them forward tonight in revenge just my opinion.

Geraldo Rivera's daughter Simone is in France nearby the explosions she was at the stadium. He has been crying on Fox News very hard to watch and brings home the humanity of what is happening.

Now reports of a fourth incident a shooting at a shopping mall according to Fox News awaiting confirmation.

If that's the case then the attackers were ready for retaliation at a moments notice. This is frightening.

Apparently somebody is doing a Periscope (Twitter company) livestream from outside the venue where the hostages are. [video=twitter;665294490073067520]https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/665294490073067520[/video]
Just passing on the link on the off chance that someone here knows somebody with a friend/relative in the area and might want to see if they recognise anyone there.
