Holland was actually at one public event [the main Paris football stadium] when two persons with suicide vests exploded them just outside - so he heard these explosions there from not far away. His security people removed him to relative safety, but I just heard that many ordinary football fans have only minutes ago been allowed to leave - several hours after the attack began.
Well, that's nice for him. The game continued to the end as far as I can see. Maybe so as not to panic people and identify some of the spectators. But no arrests there that I have heard of. They were all held there until recently. How are they going to get home? Not sure the public transport system is working as normal.
Peter Lemkin Wrote:Two restaurants were shot up, one concert venue had the highest death toll, the football stadium, and two other locationsAt least one of the others was a drive by shooting. I was thinking with dread about the Moscow theatre siege when I first heard about the concert when I woke this morning. 100 people is a truly terrible loss but there were 1,500 people inside. It could have been so much worse.
