TERROR IN PARIS

Today the world has woken up with some terrible news. Tonight, there have been several terrorist attacks in France, in which about 128 people have lost their lives. The attacks took place in different points of Paris, among which there were the stadium ‘’Stade de France’’, where France was playing against Germany, a match which the François Hollande (France president), was attending; and the ‘’Bataclan’’ concert hall, the one that suffered the biggest attack, and where the band Eagles Of Dead Metal was playing.

The attack at the Bataclan finished after midnight, with a police intervention in which four terrorists died, three of them because of explosive belts. Before this, the terrorists had kept about 100 people inside the concert hall as hostages. Later the police found at least of that people dead. The police have said that, counting all the attacks, 128 people have died, more than 200 people are wounded, and 80 of them are in a very grave state.

In addition to the four dead attackers in Bataclan, four more also died in different attacks, making a total of eight dead attackers, seven of them because of explosive belts. Other attackers were able to run away.

The authorities think that the attacks have been organised by Islamic terrorists who have accomplices in the country. The attackers used bombs, submachine guns and later the actual attackers made themselves explode with explosive belts. ISIS has claimed responsibility, and has said that this is just the beginning of a lot more of attacks, notifying the French people that this is not over at all.

François Hollande has said that France needs to be strong and united and that they are going to take the needed measurements to end up with all this and to keep the country safe. The country has closed the borders (even though trains and planes are still working) and has improved and increased the security. Also, authorities have sent out a statement advising the people to say at home and this Saturday everything is going to stay closed, to keep the people safe.

The world has answered sending support to France. The leaders of different countries have talk about it and offered help to the affected country, and the nearby countries have increased the security.

People around the world has sent support to the country and to the affected people through social media.

PERSONAL OPINION:

Well, I don't think I have a very different opinion than the other people about it, because I guess everyone agrees that it was a tragic incident. I think that one of the worst things about it is that the people who belong to the terrorist organization ISIS are so brain-washed that they don't mind dying as long as they do it in the name of their God (that's what they think). So if they aren't scared of dying, I guess that they can risk everything in making more serious and dangerous attacks. 

And another thing I would like to comment is that we mustn't forget about the other people that are dying because of this, because what happened in Paris yesterday, also happened in Beirut (Lebanon) with the same amount of dead people, and is happening everyday in Syria, so we must be aware of this and if we pray for the death people in Paris, we should also pray for the dead people of all these places. Because the dead people from France deserve the same importance than the dead people in Syria or in the other places.
