Thats where we start with elizabeth palmer. Good morning. Good morning. Well this is traumatized neighbhood this morning. The cons ert hall in the bat clan clan is about a block where from where i am. First of all, s sres of bodies had to be brought out, and now it is a massive crime scene. But its by far where the greatest massacre h hpened in a whololnight of violence. By the time the police unit stormed the concert hall after midnight the attack has been going on for two hours. Four men opened fir on a sellout crowd of fans of the metal. Confusion became a frenzy. I tururd around like everyone show and then everyone went down pushing each up against each other to escape. Some fled out the back door dragging the bodods of victims. In the end at least 80 died and so did the attackers. Three detonated suicide vests and the fourth was killed by the police. A couple of miles away in the main soccer stadium, 80,000 spectators watching a game heard three explosions. All bombs going off in a nearby street. At least four people died there. At first the spectators milled around the field waiting for the all clear. And then filed out singing the French National anthem in collective defines of terrorism. Frances president , Francois Hollande who had been at the game was moved to safety. Later visibly shaken he toldd the nation, terrorists must be will shown they will face a united be intimidated. And yet another attack, terrorists at and around three restaurants killing 18 people. This is the deadliest attack in europe since the madrid train bombs in 2004 but it is the second in paris in less than a year. Back in january extremists attacked the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo here as well a the jewishsh supermarket. Isis has now claimed responsibility in a post and it does look authentic. It comes from their official media arm and says unequivocally, eight brothers armed with automatic weapons wearing explosive belts fire their weapons into the heart of paris last night. Anthony. Elizabeth palmer. Thanks. You can see shock and confusion in the faces of appreciationparisians as realizing th were targets o o an attack. Elaine cobbe has been on scene all night and also at the bataclan theater. Good morning. Reporter good morning. President hollande calls the attacks cowardly and promises the fight against the terrorists will be withoutmercy. French Security Forces poured in overnight. As the city remained on edge. People afraid to go out. This woman managed to escape the shooting at the concert hall. We hid for two hours she said. It was as if people were being tortured. It was terrible. They were shooting them. It was butchery. Carnage. Deadadeople everywhere. Im just very shocked another survivor said. Very shocked more than anything else. This man was caught in one of the suicide blasts at the soccer stadium. Saved from flying debris only by i was crossing and boom, he said. It exploded just in front of me. Everything went to pieceses french president Francois Hollande today declared three days of National Mourning. France is strong, hollande said. She is wounded and nothing can damage her despite the grief. They tried to piece together the terrible events. Scott macdougal was also at the soccer stadium. At first he didnt understand the scope of the violence. We thought it was something we thought it was a hoax. Something that had gone wrong. We didnt realize as officials scramble to regain control, concerned friends and family took to social media looking for loved ones. But amongst the devastation there was defiance. Fans leaving the soccer match national anthem. And in the center of paris this morning candles were lit in memory of the victims. Some paris schools have classes saturday. They are closed today. As Traditional University buildings. And many others closed including disneyland paris. An american photographer for National Geographic at last nights soccer match between france and germany at the National Stadium. Thank you for joining us. Good morning. Good morning. Weve heard from so many eye witnesses and so many have said initially they had no concept of what was going on. No awareness. It was panic. Urn on the fifty yard line at that match. Did you have any idea what was happening . Well we heard the explosions. We thought it was par of some show. And thene started to leave suddenly. And then it was a stampede of people running and screaming. And i thought i was going to die. I thought that my life was going to come to a a end because i was getting pushed down to the ground. And eventually i was able to get behind a wall. But it was complete mayhem and chaos. You took some photos with your iphone last night. I think were going to look at some of them. You obviously didnt have a very clear idea what was happening. What was the crowd saying . When they heard the e elosions and peopletarted moving. Well, slowly people started getting messages on their phones. And after some minutes people started to leave. And then people started to flood onto the field because they didnt know where to go. I started to actually leave the stadium. But when we got outside, it was just bedlam and chaos. Of 9 11. It was just people getting knocked down. Just a horrific scene and took hours for the area to clear and there were policee and soldiers ambulances and firemen all over the area. You mention that stampede. How did you actually getet out of stadium wiwi so many people just rushing towards exits . Well, i went out. I got literally pushed back in because of the stampede. People were charging around like wild animals. It was just crazy. And then i went back in and i stayed in the stadium for the two hours. Before i was able to leave. Because thererwas just no w w to get out. Steven mccurry. Thank you so much for being with us this morning at what sounded like a horrific scene at the the attacks were followed by a heavy tightening of security. Paris is on lockdown as the french presisint takes dramatic action. Good morning. For the first time in a decade france declared a state of emergency. French president Francois Hollande convened a special security meeting early today with top government and security officials. Meanwhile police in paris search for possible accomplices. 1500 French Military troops deployed across paris. The city practically shut down after a massacre that killed 125 people in multiple locations. Today parisss essentially on lock wn. City facilities including school, museums, libraryies are closed. Some bus and train lines are also shut down. Police are urging people to stay indoors and are calling for a halt to public events. Soldiers are deployed to key sites around paris including the parliament and religious sites. The Public Prosecutor says it is early but they are working on trying to figure out more about the terrorists and how they planand the attack. Cluding if there are still at large. France has been the target of multiple terror plots this year. In january the attack on Charlie Hebdo shocked the city and the world sparking a lockdown and curfew. And in august three americans thwarted a gunmen on a high spspd train heading from paris to amsterdam. U. S. Officials have expressed amazement at the scope of the paris attacks. After Charlie Hebdo paris was considered to be a city with a robust counterterrorism coverage. But this has raised concerns of vulnerabilities, not only of terrorists but in the u. S. As well. Thank you. Security was increased i i new york after the paris attacks. And other special units were deployed to popular terrori sites and the french consulate. New york city y considered a top terror target. The beefed up Police Presence is precautionary Officials Say and not the result of any specific threat. For more on theh fallout and what it means for security in this c cntry were joined by Michael Morrell in washington. And john miller, our former correspondent good morning to you both. As jeff pepees mentioned this opens a lot of questions. What do we know about the attacks so far . I think the place to start is the context. And elizabeth mentioned this was thee largest terrorist attack in western europe since the madrid bombs. West since 9 11. President hollande said this is isis and he also said isis directed this. If that is true, this would be the first isisdirected attack in the west. So this is a huge deal. We mentioned in new york you are going toee more and more lice officers. If you are in any major city you are going to see more Police Officers today. Are there any specific threats at this point . No. So the increased presence is basically for . This is a a counterterrorism overlay. This is a plan that we literally keep on the shelf. And it is adjusted for the individual situation. So after the Charlie Hebdo attacks we guarded certain french Government Installations and journalism locations, especially places that had printed some of the same material. In this attack we immediately looked at it. We took out the Charlie Hebdo package. The french government locations but we also added in places that looked like the targets. Time square, rockefeller, places with tourists gathered on a friday night. Were looking at the series of synchronized attacks that occurred across the city, at restaurants, at a stadium, at a theater. What does it tell us about the planning and the intelligence of this . And the fact thaha french authorities didnt pick up any of it . So this is very worrying. What really strikes me about this attack is the operational security. You are talking about multiple operatives. Bomb, simultaneous attacks, you are talking about keepihg that under the radar from french intelligencecend french security. That is a very difficult thing to do. It is very sophisticated operational security. That is what suggests to me that this was directed rather than sisily a groro of self radicalized individuals who came and in terms of the potential for such an attack here, im deeply concerned about th. The fbi over the lasas year has arrested a number of individuals who are plotting attacks here. And there is over a hundred ongoina fbi investigations into jihadists re. So i believe that it will eventually happen here. And we are going to have to stay focused on this in a way that we havent en yet i believe. I mean, those are frightening rds to here. And you look at the places, the six locations, knowing a the con sertd hall, a cambodian are restaurant, the bar, a sports stadium on the list. Not specific locations anyone would have thought. You have put your thumb right on it. We l lked att the target picturur last night. We did our target selection in terms of where we would put additional resources. But if the attack was on the president s palace and the eiffel tower and a bunch of other places, you know, that makes sense in terms of predictability for security. When you have a bunch of random places that you could find in any big city, that is a real challenge about how to spread resources. And i want to underline what mike morel said. In april we arrested two people for planning a Pressure Cooker attack in the name of isil and other groups. In june we arrested nine people through the joint Terrorism Task force of thebi and a number of people in new yororcity for a plot to attack the fourth of July Fireworks with a Pressure Cooker bomb in the name of isil to behead a target in new york city in the namemef isil. So these are t t attacks that that you are able to stop that dont make the headlines. But when y look at what happened last night here is a group of people that flew under the radar and probably did so using these Communications Apps that cant be seen by Law Enforcement. Cant be opened by court order that are this new design that are becoming increasingly popular. John miller, michael morel thank you both for being with us. President obama expressed his deepest condolences to the people of france and offered whatever help the french might need. Chip reed was in the briefing room. Good morning.
