French source: 8 terrorists killed in Paris attacks

A French source in the investigation on the deadly terror attacks in Paris on Friday says that the number of terrorists killed in the aftermath has gone up to eight (from 5 earlier).

The deadliest attack was at the Bataclan theater hall where concert-goers were gathered before at least four terrorists opened fire at them and tossed explosives. More than 100 people were killed in that attack.

Police say four attackers were killed in a raid by security forces at the hall, three of them by blowing themselves up as police closed in. The fourth died as a result of police gunfire but also had a suicide belt, according to authorities.

Three more died near the national stadium and a fourth was killed in a street in eastern Paris.
