Theater attackers shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before shooting — eyewitnesses

Eyewitnesses tell AFP that the attackers of the Bataclan concert hall in Paris tonight shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is great), before opening fire at the crowd gathered for a performance by the Eagles of Death Metal.

Police launched a raid on the theater moments ago, where it is said that some 100 people were being held hostage.
