After a string of terrorist attacks in central Paris that killed dozens of people, French police stormed a concert hall late Friday where gunmen had taken as many as 100 people hostage.  At least two terrorists were killed in the assault. Explosions and gunfire erupted as the heavily armed security forces poured into the theater where an American rock group had been holding a concert. Ambulances were brought to the scene to cope with victims. The death toll from as many as seven terrorist attacks throughout the city varied widely. The AFP news agency, quoting police, said as many as 100 were killed in the terrorist attack on the concert venue alone/USA Today. More here.
