Paris: The November 2015 Paris attacks were a series of planned terrorist acts carried out by Islamists on 13 November 2015 in Paris, France, and the city's northern suburb of Saint-Denis. Beginning at 9:15 p.m.

During an international football game, three suicide bombers attempted but failed to enter the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. Then they attacked outside the stadium.

Then, a second group of attackers opened fire on crowded Parisian cafes and restaurants, while another group detonated an explosive, killing themselves in the process.

At an Eagles of Death Metal concert of 1,500 people at the Bataclan theatre, a third group opened another mass shooting and kidnapped hostages, leading to a standoff with police. When the police raided the theatre, the attackers were either shot or blew themselves up.

The criminals killed 130 people, 90 of whom were in the Bataclan theatre. Of the additional 416 injuries, nearly 100 were life-threatening. In addition, seven of the attackers were killed.

The attacks killed the most people in France since World War II and the most in the European Union since the 2004 Madrid train bombings.

The attacks came a day after a similar attack in Beirut, Lebanon. A Jewish supermarket and Charlie's offices in Paris have been attacked since January 2015.

As they had done with the Beirut attacks the day before, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying they were in retaliation for French airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq. French President François Hollande claimed the attacks were an act of war by the Islamic State.

A terrorist cell with a base in Belgium organized the attacks, which were planned in Syria. Although most of the Paris attackers were born in France or Belgium and fought in Syria, two of them were Iraqis. Some of the attackers were among Syrian migrants and refugees making their way back to Europe.

Following the attacks, a three-month state of emergency was declared across the country to aid in the fight against terrorism. These included a ban on public demonstrations, the ability of police to search without a warrant, the ability to place anyone under house arrest without trial, and the ability to block websites that incite terrorism.
