A victim was taken away from the scene of the attack by police.
At midnight on November 13 (Paris time, ie 6 a.m. Vietnam time), a series of shootings and explosions occurred in the French capital Paris, killing at least 150 people, and the whole of France was placed in a state of emergency.
6 shootings and three explosions took place almost simultaneously in Paris, causing French President Francois Hollande to call this an `unprecedented` attack on France, and emphasized that the capital Paris was standing still.
According to some analysts, because no terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for the attack, and French police have only just ended the hostage rescue operation at the Bataclan concert hall, making a
However, analyst Anshel Pfeffer of Haaretz newspaper said that attacks that occurred almost simultaneously in at least 7 locations like this could only be the carefully planned product of a single person.
Pfeffer believes that this terrorist incident may be more or less related to events that have occurred in recent days, especially when the press reported that US drones killed the executioner Mohammed Emwazi, reported
This expert commented that information about Emwazi’s death could motivate terrorists to act, after they have planned their actions and prepared the necessary tools and means to commit crimes.
Accordingly, the two most suspicious organizations today are al-Qaeda and IS, with terrorists having caused many attacks in France and Europe in the past year, including a massacre at a courthouse.
According to Pfeffer, the high level of coordination of the suspects in this attack made him suspect that the main culprits were al-Qaeda rebels, even though this was the last time this terrorist organization carried out an attack on a large scale.
This terrorism expert said that recently, al-Qaeda has changed its terrorist attack tactics, and in 2013, the group’s leader Ayman al Zawahiri warned that the targets attacked could be
Mr. Pfeffer is concerned that IS may have taken advantage of the recent immigration crisis in Europe to install operatives and perpetrate this terrorist attack, even though IS elements entering Europe are only in the early stages.
To date, all terrorist incidents in Europe related to IS have been `lone wolf` attacks using rudimentary weapons or conventional guns, with no planned attack campaigns.
Rescue workers took the injured person to the hospital.
This tragedy took place less than two weeks after a Russian plane crashed in Sinai, killing 224 people.
Immediately after the attack, IS rebels celebrated online and spread the phrase `Paris is on fire` on social networks.
If the attack in Paris is related to IS, it proves that this terrorist group has begun to change its strategy, shifting its priority from building a Caliphate in Iraq and Syria to spreading jihad ideology and actions to other countries.
According to Pfeffer, this is most likely the moment when the war in Syria was `exported` to Europe.
The `bloodbath` in Paris also shows the fact that security agencies in France and throughout Europe still reveal many vulnerabilities to extremist elements.
This fact shows that despite the security efforts of France and Europe, at least one terrorist organization has been able to maintain a large presence with a high level of organization within France all this time.
This terrorist incident will certainly spark a wave of debate within Europe about how to handle the current immigration crisis, when hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees are still flocking to the continent.
