On November 13, three gunmen, belonging to the Islamic State group, stormed the Bataclan concert hall where Californian rock group Eagles of Death Metal was playing. The 1,500-seat Bataclan hall was sold out. Eighty-nine people died as the men fired Kalashnikov-type assault rifles into the crowd. At least 99 others were taken to hospital in a critical condition.

The first of three explosions occurred outside the Stade de France stadium on the northern fringe of Paris where France were playing Germany in an international football friendly. After being refused to enter the stadium, a man wearing a suicide belt backed away from the guards and detonated the explosives. The bomber and a passer-by were killed. Shortly, two other explosions took place near the stadium. AP
