Details of a night of absolute horror are slowly emerging today as France tries to come to terms with over a hundred deaths in Paris last night.
The city was put into a state of lock-down after seven terrorists attacked innocent people at various venues across the city, including outside the Stade de France, where Germany were facing the hosts in a friendly.
During coverage of the game a loud blast was heard by spectators both inside the venue, and on television by viewers at home,
Reports last night suggested that the loud explosion was located at Gate J of the stadium, and the Wall Street Journal is reporting tonight that the cause was a terrorist detonating a suicide vest.
However, more troubling is their revelation that the man in question had a ticket for the game, and was actually denied access to the match.
The guard, who the newspaper is only describing by his first name, admits that the terrorist tried to enter the 80,000 full stadium about 15 minutes into the game but was stopped when a guard detected the explosive vest under his clothes.
As he backed away from the turnstile, he detonated the a suicide belt packed with explosives
It’s believed another attacker also detonated a suicide vest at another entrance just minutes later, while a McDonalds’ restaurant near the stadium was also targeted, with the attack at the stadium resulting in the death of three people.
The revelations indicate that, if the bombers had not been stopped, dozens more people could have been killed in the initial explosion, or a possible stampede triggered by the explosions.
