More than 150 people are feared to have been killed in a series of devastating attacks across Paris on Friday evening.

All the attackers are believed to have died, police say, although authorities continue to search for accomplices who might still be at large, reports The Guardian.

Shootings and explosions were reported in six locations across the city, including the Stade de France in northern Paris, where two suicide attacks and a bombing took place as the national team played Germany in a friendly football match.

Two Swedish citizens may be among the victims of the attacks that killed more than 120 people in Paris, the foreign ministry said on Saturday, reported AFP.

‘We have information that one person of Swedish nationality was wounded by gunfire and another was killed,’ said Johan Tegel, a ministry spokesman told public television.

‘Our ambassador in Paris is trying to confirm this information with French authorities.’

More than 120 people were killed in a series of coordinated bombings and shootings across Paris on Friday, including around 100 shot dead in a bloodbath at a rock concert.

The Islamic State terror group has reportedly claimed responsibility for the co-ordinated shootings and bombings across Paris.

At least 149 people are said to have been killed in the French capital in a series of co-ordinated attacks last night, reported the Express.

One of the assailants in Paris Friday mentioned France’s intervention in Syria’s war to justify the attacks, said a witness who was at a concert venue where some 100 people were killed, AFP reported.

‘I clearly heard them say ‘It’s the fault of (French President Francois) Hollande, it’s the fault of your president, he should not have intervened in Syria’. They also spoke about Iraq,’ said Pierre Janaszak, a radio presenter.

‘The attacks came just hours after British ISIS butcher Jihadi John was said to have been killed by a US drone strike in Syria.’

Concert hall horror

The focus of the attacks was the Bataclan. Armed police eventually stormed the venue at around 2335 GMT, accompanied by a series of explosions.

Police said around 100 were dead.

‘I saw 20 to 25 bodies lying on the floor and people were very badly injured, gunshot wounds,’ Julien Pierce, a witness at the Bataclan, told Europe 1 radio.

‘Some of them were dead. Some of them were very badly wounded, but it was a bloodbath.’

The military had been mobilised to reinforce police and ensure no further attacks took place, he said.

Counter-terrorism prosecutors said they had opened a preliminary investigation.

‘They opened fire’

At the Stade de France, spectators flooded the pitch as news of the attacks spread before organisers started an evacuation.

The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, called for residents to stay at home.

‘We heard gunfire, 30 seconds of fire, it was interminable, we thought it was fireworks,’ said Pierre Montfort, who lives near rue Bichat, where the Cambodian restaurant is located.

‘Everyone was on the floor, no one moved,’ said another eyewitness who had been at the Petit Cambodge restaurant.

‘A girl was carried by a young man in his arms. She appeared to be dead.’

The toll ‘will be much heavier’ than the initial confirmed deaths, a security source said.

Camille, 25, said: ‘My sister is in the Bataclan. I phoned her. She said they opened fire. And then she hung up.’

An AFP reporter outside the Bataclan said before the police stormed the venue, hundreds of officers carrying machine-guns were keeping guard and more than 20 police wagons with their lights flashing were at the scene.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Union chief Jean-Claude Juncker said they were ‘deeply shocked’ by the attacks.

France has been on high alert since the attacks in January against Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket that left 17 dead.

Several other attacks have been foiled through the year.

Security had begun to be stepped up ahead of key UN climate talks to be held in just outside the French capital from November 30, with border checks restored from Friday.

More than 500 French fighters are thought to be with Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, according to official figures, while 250 have returned and some 750 expressed a desire to go there.
