Belgium increases border security

The Belgian authorities have told AFP news agency that they have boosted checks on their borders, especially with France, following the attacks in Paris.

"Reinforced border checks have been established on the borders within the framework especially of a close collaboration with the French authorities," Belgium's national centre for threat evaluation, OCAM, said.

Unity and spirit.

That is what is needed. Not division and indecisiveness.

Us Security being stepped up

Major U.S. cities like NY say they're tightening security after <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ParisAttacks?src=hash">#ParisAttacks</a></p>—katya adler (@BBCkatyaadler) <a href="https://twitter.com/BBCkatyaadler/status/665348762634702848">November 14, 2015

Major U.S. cities like NY say they're tightening security after #ParisAttacks

Meanwhile in New York, police said they have bolstered security at several high-profile locations in response to the attacks in Paris, including counterterrorism officers sent to tourist-heavy areas and the French consulate in midtown Manhattan, according to Reuters.

“Teams have been dispatched to crowded areas around the city out of an abundance of caution to provide police presence and public reassurance as we follow the developing situation overseas,” the NYPD said in a statement. Officers have been deployed to other French government locations in the city, and NYPD intelligence bureau officers in France are assisting Paris police “in any way possible”.

Jesus - poor France

This is just going to further alienate people - we cannot let this drive a wedge between those law abiding non extremist Muslim communities.

If we resort to right wing nationalism then the Terrorists have truly won

4 Attackers killed, 3 by suicide belts 1 by police.

No confirmation of any police officer killed during operation.

As I reported, the news coming out about the attacks, and casualty numbers in particular, is confusing and often conflicted. Earlier the police prefecture said four people had died in the course of the retaking of the Bataclan concert hall from hostage-takers; many media took that to mean police or security officers.

It now appears the four might be a reference to the attackers: three of whom, according to AFP, reportedly detonated explosive suicide belts.

Le Parisien has a list of the deaths and injuries at the various attack sites around Paris, which it sources to the French authorities.

Bataclan: at least 100 dead, seven people in a critical condition, four others injured

Rue Charonne: 19 dead, 13 people in a critical condition, 10 others injured

Rue Bichat: 14 dead, 10 in a critical condition, 10 others injured

Avenue de la Republique: Four dead, 11 in a critical condition, 10 others injured

Stade de France: four dead, 11 in a critical condition, 39 others injured

Rue Beaumarchais: three people in a critical condition, four others injuries

'All attackers are dead' – police

The Paris police prefect has now confirmed that the attackers at the Bataclan rock venue blew themselves up with suicide belts as police closed in, killing four.

He said the gunmen first sprayed cafes outside the venue with machine gunfire, then went inside the concert hall and killed more before the assault by security forces.

The prefect, Michel Cadot, said one set of attackers was at the Stade de France, and at nearly the same time the second group attacked within the city.

Cadot said all the attackers are believed dead, although authorities are hunting for any possible accomplices.
