Bloodbath in Paris: 150 killed as jihadist gunmen blow themselves up at concert and Kalashnikov-wielding terrorist opens fire in restaurant

More than 150 people have been killed in a series of coordinated terror attacks in the heart of Paris which have paralysed the French capital.

As many as 118 people alone were massacred at a concert in the Bataclan theatre following a hostage situation last night that concluded in a suicide attack while another 11 were shot down at a Cambodian restaurant. 

Early reports suggest a further 200 people are being treated for injuries, with 80 of them seriously hurt. 

Four of the attackers were killed in the concert hall, three by activating their suicide vests while one was shot by police.

Just five miles away, suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France sports stadium where the French football team was playing Germany and a fourth died in a street in eastern Paris. 

French police arrested one suspected attacker who claimed to have been recruited by ISIS alongside three other extremists, it has been reported.

French President Francois Hollande declared a national state of emergency following what he called 'unprecedented terror attacks', shut its borders and deployed 1,500 extra troops to the capital.

Terrorists launched a total of six coordinated attacks at high profile sites across Paris: 

• Two suicide bomb attacks at a bar near the Stade de France led to President Hollande being evacuated from the stadium. He has since declared a national state of emergency.
• Two terrorists with AK47s burst into the Bataclan concert hall, where rock band Eagles of Death Metal were performing. They sprayed bullets and threw grenades into thousands of people before they started slaughtering people one by one.
• A terrorist armed with an AK47 killed at least 11 people at Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge in the Bastille area on Rue Bichat at around 9pm.
• Gunfire and bomb blasts have also been reported at the Louvre art gallery, the Pompidou Centre and Les Halles shopping centre.

Witnesses have been telling of the horror which unfolded inside the Bataclan theatre, where more than 1,000 people were watching rock band Eagles of Death Metal perform.

The told of how AK47 wielding terrorists shouted 'Allah Akbar' as they 'blindly' opened fire into a crowd of people.

'It looked like a battlefield, there was blood everywhere, there were bodies everywhere,' Marc Coupris, 57, told the Guardian.

He added: 'I was at the far side of the hall when shooting began. There seemed to be at least two gunmen. They shot from the balcony.' 

They shot at 'very young' people in the violent attack which lasted around 15 minutes, said Julien Pearce, a journalist at Europe 1. The gunmen, who witnesses have described as young men in theirs 20s, reloaded three or four times as they gunned down innocent people at random.
